Dato' Paduka Mukhriz bin Tun Dr. Mahathir (born November 1964) is the third son and fifth child of former Prime Minister of MalaysiaTun Dr. Mahathir and Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah.

He held various posts of several business firms, which include Opcom Holdings,[1][2] Kosmo Tech[3] as well as the Malaysian Franchise Association.[4] He is also the executive director of Perdana Peace Global Organisation.[5]
Mukhriz was noted for his continuous efforts in speaking for his father in the events of the rift between the then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his father.[6][7] In 2006, Mukhriz won the election of UMNO's Kubang Pasu division, coming in fifth. Mukhriz defended his father, who had lost in the same election he took part, by saying that there is a plan to topple him.[8] Mukhriz drew flak from sections of UMNO after he commented on Prime Minister Abdullah's speech that he was a "little bit" disappointed and that it offered nothing new.[9] He later apologised for his remarks.[10]
Mukhriz is married to Datin Paduka Norzieta Zakaria,[11] and has four children.[12] He is currently serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Malaysian cancer vaccine company, Bioven.[13]
