Abd al-Wahab Mirjan (Arabic: عبد الوهاب مرجان; 1909 – March 15, 1964) was an Iraqi politician who served as the Prime Minister of Iraq from 1957 to 1958. His tenure as prime minister oversaw Iraq's short-lived union with Jordan, which was formalized on February 14, 1958. A relative newcomer to the Iraqi government, Murjan first joined the cabinet in 1947. He resigned less than a month after the federation was declared, in favor of Nuri al-Said, and survived the 1958 republican coup later that year and died in 1964.
