The Hezbollah Assembly or Assembly of Hezbollah[1] (Persian: مجمع حزب‌الله, romanizedMajma'-e Hezbollah, lit.'Parliamentary Union of the Party of God')[2] was a parliamentary group in the Iranian Parliament between 1996 and 2000.

It has been described as "a moderate grouping of legislative members positioned in the counterpoint of Hezbollah [fraction]"[3] and a "parliamentary alliance" between the modernist right and the Islamic left.[2]

Its leader was Abdollah Nouri,[3] who was later succeeded by Majid Ansari.[4]
