Mohammed al-Hindi is a U.S.-designated senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and head of its political bureau.

PIJ elected Hindi as its deputy secretary-general in September 2018. The position had previously been held by Ziad al-Nakhalah, whom PIJ elected as its secretary-general.* At that point Hindi had lived in Turkey for two years. PIJ elected Nakhalah as its secretary-general. Iran reportedly believed Hindi had close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and feared he would sway PIJ toward a Brotherhood agenda and away from Iran. According to news reports, Iran preferred Hindi serve as deputy leader under Nakhalah.* In March 2023, PIJ elected Hindi as a member of its political bureau.* He has since been reported as the head of the political bureau.*
