Ibn al-Zaqqaq

Ali ibn Attiya ibn al-Zaqqaq (Arabic: علي إبن عطيّة إبن الزقّاق البلنسي اللخمي) (c. 1100 Valencia - 1133 or 1134) was one of the great poets of Al-Andalus during the reign of the Almoravids. He was a Muslim from Banu Lakhm. His mother was the sister of fellow Andalusian poet, Ibn Khafaja, and there is scholarly dispute regarding his father. He was a disciple under philosopher Ibn Ṣîd de Badajoz.

Not to be confused with Maliki scholar Ali ibn Qasim al-Zaqqaq.
