Abū al-Walīd Aḥmad Ibn Zaydouni al-Makhzūmī (Arabic: أبو الوليد أحمد بن زيدوني المخزومي; 1003–1071), or simply known as Ibn Zaydoun (Arabic: ابن زيدون) or Abenzaidun, was an Arab Andalusian poet of Cordoba and Seville. He was considered the greatest neoclassical poet of al-Andalus.
He reinvigorated the impassioned lyrics in Arabic by infusing it with more personal and sensual tones of experience. This supposed him to be considered the best of the loving poets of the Muslim Hispania and to become a model for all subsequent Western Arab poetry. His love affair with the princess and poet Wallada bint al-Mustakfi and his exile inspired many of his poems.
