{{one source|date=February 2025}}
'''Abu'l-Ali Ma'mun ibn Muhammad''' (died 997) was ruler of [[Khwarazm]] from 995 until his death in 997. He was the founder of the [[Ma'munids|Ma'munid dynasty]], which lasted from 995 until 1017.

Ma'mun was originally the [[Samanid]] governor of southern Khwarazm, with his capital at [[Kunya Urgench|Gurganj]]. In 995 he invaded northern Khwarazm and deposed the last [[Afrighids|Afrigid Shah]] [[Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad]] (who was also a Samanid vassal), therefore uniting the province under his rule he would be the [[namesake]] for the [[Ma'munids]] who would stay in power for 3 decades. Upon his death in 997, his son [[Abu al-Hasan Ali]] succeeded him.
