Mohammed "Mo" Mohandis (born 28 June 1985) is a Moroccan-Dutch politician of the Dutch Labour Party (Partij van de Arbeid).

Mohandis studied communications management, and he served as chairperson of the Dutch Young Socialists. He was a member of the municipal council of Gouda from 2006 to 2012, when he was elected to the House of Representatives. His term ended after the 2017 general election.[1] He was again appointed to the body in June 2022 due to a vacancy, and he was re-elected in 2023. He has since served as spokesperson for poverty and sports.[2] He proposed several adjustments to the social safety net with Sandra Palmen (NSC) to simplify the system and to make it more forgiving to those in poverty.[3]

In February 2024, a motion by Mohammed Mohandis and Michiel van Nispen (SP) was carried to reintroduce swimming lessons in elementary schools. They called on the government to prepare scenarios for their initiative in response to declining swimming skills among youths. Mohandis had completed his own swimming lessons earlier that month concurrently with his daughter.[4]
