Abu Bakr ibn -Arabi or, in full Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdallāh ibn ʿArabī al-Maʿāfirī al-Ishbīlī (Arabic: أبو بكر محمّد ابن عبدالله ابن العربى المعافرى الأسفلى) born in Sevilla in 1076 and died in Fez in 1148) was a Muslim judge and scholar of Maliki law from al-Andalus. Like Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad, Ibn al-Arabi was forced to migrate to Morocco during the reign of the Almoravids. It is reported that he was a student of Al-Ghazali. He was a master of Maliki Jurisprudence. His father was a student of Ibn Hazm. He also contributed to the spread of Ash'ari theology in Spain. A detailed biography about him was written by his contemporary Qadi Ayyad (d. 1149), the Malikite scholar and judge from Ceuta.
