Sar Shalom ben Moses HaLevi (Hebrew: שר שלום בן משה הלוי, Arabic: يحيى أبو زكري Yaḥyā Abū Zikrī; d. 1204), also called Zutta, was the last of the Egyptian geonim. He controversially held office in Fustat as the nagid of the Egyptian community from 1170 to 1171 and again from around 1173 to 1195, during which he was excommunicated several times by Maimonides for tax farming.
