Yazid (1750 – 23 February 1792) (Arabic: اليزيد بن محمد) was Sultan of Morocco from 1790 to 1792, and was a member of the Alaouite dynasty. He was born in Fes. Yazid's first order of business was persecuting the Jews of the city of Tétouan. In deference to Yazid's father, Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah, the Jews of Tétouan denied financial support to Yazid and his effort to overthrow his father. Although observers remark that Yazid authorized his "black" troops to plunder Tétouan's Jewish quarter.
