Ibrahim al-Ifriqi

Ibrahim al-Ifriqi (Arabic: إبراهيم الإفريقي) was a ninth century governor of the Yemen for the Abbasid Caliphate.

A member of the Banu Shayban, Ibrahim was appointed as governor during the caliphate of al-Ma'mun (r. 813–833), in place of Hisn ibn al-Minhal. He was in turn eventually replaced by the joint governors Nu'aym ibn al-Waddah al-Azdi and al-Muzaffar ibn Yahya al-Kindi.[1]
