Nu'man al-Alusi (Arabic: نعمان الآلوسي, 1836–1899), full name Khayr al-Din Nu'man bin Mahmud al-Alusi, was a 19th-century Iraqi Muslim scholar, jurist and calligrapher. The son of the widely acclaimed Hanafi jurist, Mahmud al-Alusi, Nu'man was born in Baghdad. He later rose to prominence himself as an early supporter of the Salafi movement, which was slowly spreading at the time.
Muhammad Bahjat Athari described Nu'man al-Alusi as “Generous, loyal, ascetic, sweet as a fruit, and a forgiving person.” He was also praised by Jamal al-Din al-Qasimi, while he was also credited by Al-Albani in the introduction of his book Sharh al-Ayat al-Bayinat fi Iyadam Sama'i al-Amwat.
