Duraid Mohammed Kashmoula ( ar, دريد كشمولة; born 1943) is an Iraqi politician who served as Governor of Nineveh Province from July 2004 to April 2009. Kashmoula became Governor following the assassination of his cousin, Osama Youssef Kashmoula, who was killed while driving to Baghdad. During his term as Governor he was the target of several assassination attempts from Sunni militants that disapproved of his working with the new Iraqi government. Other members of his family have also been targeted, with his 17-year-old son being assassinated in September 2004, and his brother in late 2006. Nine of his cousins have been killed as well as 17 of his bodyguards. Following the end of his governorship he moved to Arbil.
