Alī ibn Walī Ibn Hamza al-Maghribi (Arabic: علي بن ولي بن حمزة المغربي‎‎) was a 16th-century Muslim mathematician. He was born in Algeria but was educated in Istanbul during the rule of Murad III.

His most important work was Tuhfat al-a'dad fi-l-hisab (The Ornament of Numbers), in Turkish, which discusses some form of the concept of the logarithm.
