Imam-Ali Habibi (Persian: امامعلی حبیبی گودرزی, born May 13, 1931 in Babol) is an Iranian wrestler who competed in Freestyle at the 1956 Summer Olympics.

He also took 4th at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, losing one of his matches by fall to Douglas Blubaugh of the United States. There is a famous poster (among wrestlers) of Habibi being pinned by Blubaugh, because he was so well-respected and this was a major upset at the time.
