Timur Mutsurayev (Chechen: Муцурай ХӀамзат-кӀант Темур; Russian: Тимур Хамзатович Муцураев; born June 25, 1976), or Mucuraev, is a Chechen singer and bard.
Mutsurayev was born in Grozny. Mutsurayev's first recorded song, Jerusalem, gained airplay during the 1999–2000 Battle of Grozny. Many of Mutsurayev's songs are stridently supportive of Chechen independence, and he personally believed that peace negotiations would eventually end the Second Chechen War. Distribution of some of his songs was banned by the Russian government as they were labeled "extremist". In 2008, he returned to Chechnya.
