Edmond Brahimaj or Grandfather Hajji Baba Mondi (Albanian: Haxhi Baba Edmond Brahimaj) (born 1959 or 1960) is an Albanian religious leader and the world leader (Kryegjysh) of the Bektashi Order, an Islamic Sufi order based in Tirana (Albania) and the Balkans.

Following the death of Baba Tahir Emini, the dedelik of Tirana appointed Baba Edmond Brahimaj (Baba Mondi), formerly head of the Turan Tekke of Korçë, to oversee the Harabati baba tekke in Tetovo, Republic of Macedonia. In June 2011 Baba Edmond Brahimaj was chosen as the head of the Bektashi order by a council of Albanian babas.
