The Mousavi Khomeini (Persian: موسوی خمینی) family is an Iranian Shi'a Muslim family that is prominent in politics and clergy. The family members are Sayyid and descendents of 7th Shi'ite Imam Musa al-Kadhim. Originally Persians from Nishapur, ancestors of the family migrated for a short stay to Awadh (in modern-day India), towards the end of the 18th century. The family moved back and settled in Khomein in the first half of the 19th century.
Ruhollah Khomeini is the most notable member of the family.
