Taqi al-Din Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Fasi (Arabic: تقي الدين أبي الطيب محمد بن أحمد الفاسي, 8 September 1373, in Mecca, Hejaz – 6 July 1429, in Mecca, Hejaz) was an Arab Muslim scholar, muhaddith (hadith scholar), faqih (jurist), historian, genealogist and a Maliki qadi (judge) in Mecca.[1][2]

He is best known for his work on the history of Mecca entitled Al-ʻIqd al-thamīn fī tārīkh al-Balad al-Amīn which reached around 18 volumes.[3] He also wrote on the genealogies of some Arab tribes of Tihamah.
