Mohamed Serir (Arabic: محمد سرير; born December 6, 1984, in Algiers) is an amateur Algerian Greco-Roman wrestler, who played for the men's welterweight category.[1][2] He won two medals (gold and silver) for his division at the African Wrestling Championships (2008 in Tunis, Tunisia, and 2009 in Casablanca, Morocco).[3][4]

Serir made his official debut for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 66 kg class. He received a bye for the preliminary round of sixteen match, before losing out to Russia's Sergey Kovalenko, who was able to score six points each in two straight periods, leaving Serir without a single point.[5]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Serir lost the qualifying round match to Lithuania's Edgaras Venckaitis, with a three-set technical score (0–5, 1–0, 0–1), and a classification point score of 1–3.[6]
