Mohamed Ben Arafa (Arabic: محمد بن عرفة; 1889–17 July 1976) was a Moroccan alaouite royal of the early 20th century. He is best known for being the subject of a plot by Thami El Glaoui, Pasha of Marrakech to dethrone his cousin Mohammed Ben Youssef (Mohammed V). He ruled for a brief period between 1953 and 1955, when he was enthroned by the French as a replacement of Mohammed V. This move was seen by the Moroccan public as humiliation and resulted in widespread violence until Mohammed V was resorted to his throne.
