Al-Ḥurr ibn Yūsuf al-Qurashī al-Umawī (Arabic: الحر بن يوسف القرشي الأموي) (died 731) was an early eighth century Umayyad statesman. During the caliphate of his relative Hisham (r. 724–743) he served as a governor of Egypt (724–727) and was afterwards placed in charge of Mosul, where he remained until his death. He is known for having undertaken a number of large-scale building projects in Mosul, including some of the city's most significant developments completed during the Marwanid period.
