Hamid Dastmalchi is an Iranian-American professional poker player.

Dastmalchi's biggest win came in the 1992 World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event, where he won $1 million.

Dastmalchi was involved in a legal dispute in 1999 with Binion's Horseshoe after the new management would not let him cash in over $800,000 in chips he had won prior to a legal battle in which Becky Binion Behnen replaced Jack Binion as the head of the casino. A gaming commission ultimately ruled the chips should be cashed.

Although he rarely plays in tournaments anymore, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,500,000 as of 2005. He has 3 WSOP bracelets.

1992 $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship $1,000,000
