Al-Malik an-Nasir Nasir ad-Din Muhammad ibn Qalawun (Arabic: الملك الناصر ناصر الدين محمد بن قلاوون‎), commonly known as an-Nasir Muhammad (Arabic: الناصر محمد‎), or by his kunya: Abu al-Ma'ali (أبو المعالى) or as Ibn Qalawun (1285–1341) was the ninth Turkic Mamluk sultan of Egypt who ruled for three reigns: December 1293–December 1294, 1299–1309, and 1310 until his death in 1341.

An-Nasir Muhammad was born and died in Cairo. He was the youngest son of Sultan Qalawun and the brother of Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil. He was born in Cairo at Qal'at al-Jabal (Citadel of the Mountain). His father was of Turkic origin from Kipchak tribe and his mother was of Mongol origin.

Al-Nasir Mohammad married a Turkic woman Khawand Toghay, who started as his slave but was freed by him. She gave birth to Prince Anook.

His reign was in three stages, as he was deposed twice during his reign.

After the assassination of al-Ashraf Khalil in December 1293, he was installed as sultan with Zayn-ad-Din Kitbugha as the regent and vice-sultan and Emir Sanjar al-Shuja'i as vizier. As an-Nasir was only 9-years-old, he was a sultan in name only. Kitbugha and al-Shuja'i were the actual rulers of Egypt. The two emirs, Kitbugha, who was of Mongol origin, and Sanjar al-Shuja'i, who was of Turkic origin, were rivals and did not get on with each other. Sanjar al-Shujai, with the support of the Burji Mamluks, planned to arrest Kitbugha and assassinate his emirs but Kitbugha laid siege to the Citadel and the conflict ended with the murder of al-Shuja'i and the removal of the Burjis from the Citadel.
