Mahmud Shukri al-Alusi (Arabic: محمود شكري الآلوسي, born 12 May 1856 – 8 May 1924) was an Iraqi Muslim scholar and historian who lived in Baghdad.[1][2][3]

A grandson of Mahmud al-Alusi, he is known for being a religious reformer and one of the early advocates of the Salafi movement.[1][2] Muhammad Rashid Rida described him as “The supporter of the Sunnah, the suppressor of heresies, the sign of what has been transmitted and the discerner of those with reason, the living Islamic encyclopedia and the beacon of the Arabs.”[4]
