Nu'man al-Alusi (Arabic: نعمان الآلوسي, 1836–1899), full name Khayr al-Din Nu'man bin Mahmud al-Alusi, was a 19th-century Iraqi Muslim scholar, jurist and calligrapher.[1][2][3][4] The son of the widely acclaimed Hanafi jurist, Mahmud al-Alusi, Nu'man was born in Baghdad.[1][2][3][4] He later rose to prominence himself as an early supporter of the Salafi movement, which was slowly spreading at the time.[1][2][3][4][5]

Muhammad Bahjat Athari described Nu'man al-Alusi as “Generous, loyal, ascetic, sweet as a fruit, and a forgiving person.”[1][2][3][4] He was also praised by Jamal al-Din al-Qasimi, while he was also credited by Al-Albani in the introduction of his book Sharh al-Ayat al-Bayinat fi Iyadam Sama'i al-Amwat.[3]
