Musa ibn Abi al-Ghassan (Arabic: موسى بن أبي الغسان, romanized: Mūsa ibn Abi al-g͟hassan) was a Muslim commander who lived during the final years of the Reconquista. He is known for his opposition to the surrender of the Muslims in Granada, which ended around 800 years of Muslim rule in Iberia.
Although Musa is only mentioned in Spanish sources, which state that he killed himself to avoid capture by the Christians, many modern Muslim historians, such as Ragheb Sergani, confirm his historicity.
