Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahrudi criticised police interrogators for extracting confessions.
"Sometimes they do some things like put a bag over the head, which resembles what the Americans do to terrorists in Abu Ghraib," he said.
He said such mistreatment was against the constitution, Islam and international legal principles.
Iran has regularly been criticised by international human rights groups for a range of human rights abuses and its tough penal system.
