The Mohamoud Garad (Template:Lang-so, Template:Lang-ar, Full Name: ’Mohamoud Shirshore Habarwa Abdullah Muse Said Saleh Abdi Mohamed Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti ) is a Somali clan. Its members form a part of the Dhulbahante, a sub-division of the Harti/Darod clan-family. The clan is divided into three major sub-clans ― Ugadhyahan, Jama Siad and Omar Wa'eys. The traditional clan chief of Mohamoud Garad is Garad Saleban Garad Mohamed.

The traditional homeland of the Mohamoud Garad straddles the Nugaal Valley, while they primarily settle in the regions of Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer in Somaliland.^[1] In particular, members of the clan are well represented in the districts of Las Anod, Xudun, Taleh, Erigavo and Buuhoodle.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Moreover, the clan has a significant presence in the Somali cities of Las Anod, Erigavo, Garowe and Kismayo.
