Lived 1131 – 1147 (aged 15–16). Ibrahim ibn Tashfin was an amir.

Ibrahim ibn Tashfin (died 1147) was the seventh Almoravid Emir, who reigned shortly in 1146–1147. Once the news of the death of his father Tashfin ibn Ali reached Marrakesh, he was proclaimed king while still an infant. He was soon replaced by his uncle Ishaq ibn Ali, but the Almohads quickly subdued Marrakesh and killed both.
