Bishr ibn al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik (Arabic: بشر بن الوليد) (fl. 710–740s) was an Umayyad prince and commander who led military expeditions against the Byzantine Empire in 710/11 and 714/15 and later participated in the Umayyad opposition against his kinsman, Caliph al-Walid II (r. 743–744). He was imprisoned by his erstwhile ally and kinsman, Caliph Marwan II, in 745 and presumably died in incarceration.
