Fakhr al-dīn Ibrahīm (June 10, 1213 - 1289), known simply as Araqi or Iraqi, was a Persian philosopher and mystic of the Islamic tradition. His works synthesize the theoretical and practical elements of Sufi teachings.

Born in Kamajan, near the better known city of Hamadan, 'Iraqi descends from the spiritual lines of both Muhyidin Ibn al-'Arabi and Jalaluddin Rumi. In the 13th century, he produced several notable Persian writings, including his Lama'at, Divine Flashes, which is a commentary on The Bezels of Wisdom of Ibn Arabi.
