Tahmasp Mirza Moayed od-Dowleh (Persian: تهماسب میرزا مؤیدالدوله) was a Qajar prince and governor in 19th-century Iran. He was the second son of Mohammad-Ali Mirza Dowlatshah and grandson of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834).
After the death of his father in 1821, Tahmasp Mirza started working under his uncle, the crown prince Abbas Mirza. He was treated well by his uncle, and eventually married his daughter. In 1831, while Abbas Mirza was making military expeditions in Khorasan, Tahmasp Mirza supplied him with 4,000 troops from the Azerbaijan province. After Mohammad Shah Qajar became the new shah (king) of Iran in 1834, he appointed Tahmasp Mirza as the governor of the town of Kashan. In 1835/36, Tahmasp Mirza was appointed as the governor of the Hamadan province. In 1848/49, he replaced Fazl Ali Khan Qarabaghi as the governor of the Kerman province under the orders of the prime minister Amir Kabir. During his three year governorship, Tahmasp Mirza worked to stabilize the disorganized province. In 1851/52, Mohammad Hasan Khan Sardar succeeded him as the governor of Kerman province, after which Tahmasp Mirza was unemployed until 1852/53, when he was re-appointed as the governor of the Hamadan province. In 1853, he succeeded his cousin Firuz Mirza as the governor of the Fars province. However, he did not make much progress during his term, and was in 1859 replaced by another cousin, Morad Mirza Hesam o-Saltaneh.
