Sheikh Mohammed al-Ghazali al-Saqqa (22 September 1917 – 9 March 1996) () was an Islamic scholar whose writings "have influenced generations of Egyptians". The author of 94 books, he attracted a broad following with works that sought to interpret Islam and its holy book, the Qur'an, in a modern light. He is widely credited with contributing to a revival of Islamic faith in Egypt in recent times, and has been called (by Gilles Kepel) "one of the most revered sheikhs in the Muslim world".
