Aamir Mehmood Kiani (Urdu: عامر محمود کیانی) is a Pakistani politician who served as Federal Minister for National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination, from 20 August 2018 to 18 April 2019. He had been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan from August 2018 till January 2023.

Having been associated with Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party since 1996, Kiani eventually quit it in the aftermath of the May 9 riots, perceived as attacks on Pakistan's military institutions coordinated by Imran Khan, while Kiani asserted that he belongs to a military family and couldn't pursue such politics.

Like numerous former PTI leaders, Kiani is now associated with the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), being its Secretary-General.

Kiani was born in Rawalpindi into a family with military background.

Before entering electoral political he had been an advocate by profession.

Kiani ran for a seat of the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from NA-56 Rawalpindi-VII in the 2002 Pakistani general election, but was unsuccessful. He received 3,182 votes and lost to Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, an independent candidate.

Ahmad vacated the seat in favour of NA-55 Rawalpindi-VI, another seat he won, and Kiani ran as an independent candidate for the subsequent by-election in NA-56 Rawalpindi-VII, but was again unsuccessful. He received 139 votes and was defeated by Hanif Abbasi, a candidate of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA).

He was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from Constituency NA-61 (Rawalpindi-V) in 2018 Pakistani general election. He received 105,000 votes and defeated Malik Ibrar Ahmed.
