Muḥammad ibn Barakāt ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ajlān ({{langx|ar|محمد بن بركات بن حسن بن عجلان}}; 1437{{spaced ndash}}{{circa|9 September 1497}}) was Sharif of Mecca from 1455 to 1497.{{sfn|de Zambaur|1927|p=22}}{{sfn|Salname|p=113|ref=Salname}} As a vassal of the Sultan of Egypt his authority extended over the entire Hejaz.{{sfn|al-‘Aṣimī|1998|p=291}}
He was born in Ramadan 840 AH (March/April 1437), the son of Barakat I, Sharif of Mecca. In 859 AH (1455) Barakat's health deteriorated, and he petitioned the Sultan to appoint his son as his replacement. Barakat died on Monday, 19 Sha'ban 859 AH (4 August 1455), and it so happened that the Sultan's reply—dated 16 Rajab 859 AH ({{circa|2 July 1455}})—arrived from Egypt the following day, accompanied by a robe of investiture (khil'ah) for Sharif Muhammad. On 4 Shawwal ({{circa|17 September}}) Muhammad received condolences from the Sultan and his formal decree of appointment (tawqi).{{sfn|al-‘Aṣimī|1998|pp=288–290}}{{sfn|al-Ghāzī|2009|p=314–316}}{{sfn|Daḥlan|2007|pp=116–117}}
In the year 878 AH (1473/1474) Sultan Qaitbay appointed Muhammad's son Barakat as co-regent.{{sfn|al-‘Aṣimī|1998|p=293}}{{sfn|Daḥlan|2007|p=120}}
Sharif Muhammad died on 11 Muharram 903 AH ({{circa|9 September 1497}}) at Wadi Marr al-Zahran (present-day Wadi Fatimah). He was buried in the Cemetery of al-Ma'lah in Mecca, and a tomb was built over his grave.{{sfn|al-Ghāzī|2009|p=317–318}}{{sfn|Daḥlan|2007|p=119}}{{sfn|al-‘Aṣimī|1998|pp=292−293}}
