Abdullah al-Kafif az-Zarhuni (; born in Zerhoun - died 1348) was a North African zajal poet in the Marinid period. He is known for composing an epic zajal poem known as Mala'bat al-Kafif az-Zarhuni (, al-Kafif az-Zarhuni's Playground), considered the first text in Moroccan vernacular Arabic, in the period of Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman al-Marini.[1][2]
