Abdelwahid al-Marrakushi (b. 1185) was a renowned historian from Marrakech, Morocco.
From any early age he was engrossed in various academic pursuits, studying in both Marrakech and Fez until he was twenty-three and left for al-Andalus (Iberian Peninsula). Arriving there in 1208, he stayed for nine years before returning to the Maghreb. In 1224 he completed Kitab al-mujib fi talkhis akhbar ahl al-Maghrib, a history of the Almohad dynasty preceded by a summary of Andalusian history from the Muslim conquest until 1087.
