Abu Abdullah `Ubaidullah bin Muhammad bin Battah al-`Ukbari al-Hanbali, known as Ibn Battah was a Hanbali theologian and jurisconsult born at 'Ukbara in 304/c. 917. He learned from a number of Hanbali scholars of his time and also personally knew al-Barbahari.

Ibn Batta was severely attacked by Khatib al-Baghdadi though he was defended by Ibn al-Jawzi who was much influenced by him.
