Umar bin al-Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammad bin al-Jamil bin Farah bin Khalaf bin Qumis bin Mazlal bin Malal bin Badr bin Dihyah bin Farwah better known as Ibn Dihya al-Kalbi (Arabic: ابن دحية الكلبي) was a Moorish scholar of both the Arabic language and Islamic studies and member of the Ahl al-Bayt. He preferred to be called Abu al-Khattab though at various times he was also referred to as Ibn al-Jumayyil Majd al-Din Abu al-Fadl or simply Ibn Dihya.
