Muhammad Hayyat ibn Ibrahim al-Sindhi (Arabic: محمد حياة بن ابراهيم السندي) (died 3 February 1750) was an Islamic scholar who lived during the period of the Ottoman Empire. He is noted as a teacher of the founder of the Wahhabi Movement, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. He belonged to the Naqshbandi order of Sufism.
Al-Sindhi was born in a Adilpur village Ghottki Sind in present-day Pakistan and traveled locally to get his basic education. Then he migrated to Madinah and studied closely with Ibrahim al-Kurani and his son Muhammaad Tahir al-Kurani. Here, he was initiated into the Naqshbandi tariqa.
One of his students was Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Najdi, whom he met in 1136 Hijri. It was Abdullah ibn Ibrahim ibn Sayf who introduced him to Hayyat al-Sindhi.
Although trained in Hanafi fiqh, he was also a scholar of the Hanbali school.
