Ibn Abdallah Mohammed ibn al-Hussein al-Haik (; born in Tétouan, Morocco) was a Moroccan poet, musician and author of a songbook (el-kunash) comprising eleven nubas, that had been handed down for generations. The songbook, written in 1789, doesn't include the musical notation of the songs and is the single most important source on the early tradition of Classical Andalusian music.
