Al-Bu Nasir (Arabic: ألبو ناصر) is one of the Arab tribes of Iraq. Al-Bu Nasir is a Sayyid tribe of around 35,000 people[1][2] who primarily inhabit the town of Tikrit and the surrounding area of northern central Iraq, as well as many other area in south and center of Iraq. The progenitor of the Al-Bu Nasir tribe was Ahmed ibn Hussein ibn Ibrahim ibn Mahmoud (ناصر بن حسين بن إبراهيم بن محمود), who was a descendant of Ahmad Al-Rifa'i, hence an affiliation of the tribe being 'Al-Rifa'i.' Ahmad Al-Rifa'i was a Husseini Sayyid, being descended from Ibrahim ibn Musa Al-Kadhim.
