Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Wannan ({{Langx|ar|أبوالعباس أحمد بن محمد بن الونّان}}) (fl. Fez, died 1773) was a Moroccan poet. His fame was based on his poem al-Shamaqmaqiyya, a survey of traditional Arabic culture in which he described the customs of the early Arabs. He is said to have been a member of an Arab family from the Tuwāt in southern Algeria and Morocco. Ibn al-Wannan also described himself as Ḥimyari, and claimed descent from the Anṣār.{{Cite journal|last=Hadj-Sadok|first=M.|date=2012-04-24|title=Ibn al-Wannān|url=https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-2/ibn-al-wannan-SIM_3405?s.num=3&s.mode=phrase&s.f.s2_parent=s.f.book.encyclopaedia-of-islam-2&s.q=Arab+family|journal=Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition|language=en}}
