Mohsen Foroughi (Persian: محسن فروغی; May 14, 1907 – October 6, 1983) was an Iranian architect, and one of the founders in 1945 of the influential Association of Iranian Architects.

He designed the Faculty of Law and Political Science of Tehran University. After Andre Godard retired as the dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Tehran University, Mohsen Foroughi took on the position. This transition marked a significant change within the Faculty of Fine Arts. Notably, Persian was adopted as the language of instruction, aligning with the language policies of the university's other faculties.
