Amid al-Mulk Abu Nasr al-Kunduri (; 1024 – 29 November 1064), commonly known as al-Kunduri (; also spelled Kunduri), was a Persian bureaucrat, who served as the vizier of the first Seljuk Sultan Tughril () and his nephew Alp Arslan ().
Kunduri was born in Kundur. He was recruited into the Seljuk bureaucracy as a secretary, at the suggestion of his teacher, Imam al-Muwaffaq al-Nishapuri. A natural schemer, Kunduri sought to exploit the power and influence over the Seljuk sultan.
