Mirza Masoud Ansari Garmrudi (; died 1848) was an Iranian politician who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs twice (1835–1838 and 1845–1848).

He was born in 1790. He was the son of Mirza Abdol Rahim Ansari and cousin of Mirza Saeed Khan Ansari. He became the secretary and translator of the crown prince Abbas Mirza since he was the first Iranian official to become fluent in French.

The delegation included Mirza Mohammad Khan Zangana, Mirza Masoud, Mirza Saleh Shirazi, Hossein Ali Beg (Khosrow Mirza's uncle), Mirza Taqi Khan Farahani (the future Amir Kabir), Hajji Baba Afshar, Fazel Khan Garrusi, Mohammad Hossein Khan, Magniago de Borea (Khosrow Mirza's French tutor) and Barthélémy Semino (a French military advisor). The delegation's journey to Saint Petersburg was recorded by Mirza Masoud's secretary Mirza Mostafa Afshar. He described how the Russian emperor was impressed by the French knowledge of Mirza Masoud. In 1835, Mirza Masoud was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs by Mohammad Shah Qajar , which he served as until 1838. Around the same period, Mirza Masoud married Zia ol-Saltaneh, the seventh daughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar . Together, they had two daughters and two sons. From 1845 to 1848, Mirza Masoud served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs again. He died in 1848 and was buried in Najaf.
