Al-Fuḍayl ibn ʻIyāḍ (died 803 / AH 187, الفضيل بن عياض, full name Al-Fuḍayl ibn ʻIyāḍ ibn Bishr ibn Masūd Abū ʻAlī at-Tamīmī al-Yarbūʻī al-Khurāsānī, was also known as Abu Ali and as al-Talaqani) was an Islamic Sunni Scholar.

It is not uncommon to find his story confused with that of Fuḍayl Ibn Yahya, a contemporary who was the official to the Caliph Harun al-Rashid.[1][full citation needed]
