Ibn Baqi or Abu Bakr Yahya Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Rahman Ibn Baqi (died 1145 or 1150) was a poet from Córdoba or Toledo in al-Andalus. Baqi is one of the best-known strophic poets and songwriters of the Almoravid period (1091-1145) in Al-Andalus. He moved between Morocco and Al-Andalus and wrote several poems honoring members of a North African family. He is especially famous for his muwashshahat. In the anthology of Al-Maqqari we find a considerable number of his poems.
