Shaykh Mustafa 'Abd al-Raziq (1885 – 15 February 1947) was an Egyptian Islamic philosopher.

'Abd al-Raziq succeeded Mustafa al-Maraghi as rector of al-Azhar. His appointment encountered resistance, since he was not a member of the Council of Supreme ulama: King Farouk pressured for the law to be altered to allow him to assume office.
