Al-Afdal Muhammad ({{langx|ar|الأفضل محمد}}) was the last Ayyubid Kurdish governor of Hama, in central Syria, reigning from 1332 to 1341.Lane-Poole, 2004, p.79. He was the son and successor of Abu'l-Fida, and a descendant of Saladin's brother Nur al-Din Shahanshah. After the Mamluk defeat of the Mongols in 1260 at the Battle of Ain Jalut, Hama was restored as a tributary emirate and a succession of Ayyubid rulers of Kurdish origin governed the city. However, al-Afdal incurred the displeasure of his Mamluk overlords and was deposed by them in 1341 ending Ayyubid Kurdish rule over the city.Abu-Lughod and Dumper, 2007, p.163.
