Al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr (Arabic: قاسم إبن محمد) (born 36 or 38 AH and died 106 AH [1] or 108 AH; corresponding to c. 660/662 and 728/730)[2] was a jurist in early Islam.

In the Naqshbandi Sufi order (originated in the 14th century) he is regarded as a link in the Golden Chain, in which he was purportedly succeeded by his maternal grandson Ja'far al-Sadiq.[3]
