Abd al-Wahid bin Mas'ud bin Mohammed Anun (Arabic: عبد الواحد بن مسعود بن محمد عنون) was the principal secretary to the Moroccan Emperor Mulay Ahmad al-Mansur and ambassador to the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1600,[1] whose primary task was to promote the establishment of an Anglo-Moroccan alliance.

The visit of Abd al-Wahid bin Mas'ud followed the sailing of The Lion in 1551, and the 1585 establishment of the English Barbary Company, which had the objective of developing trade between England and Morocco.

[5] Altogether, the embassy numbered 16 (including some prisoners being returned to England), and sailed on board The Eagle under Robert Kitchen.

[6] Abd al-Wahid bin Mas'ud spent 6 months at the court of Queen Elizabeth I during 1600 with the aim of negotiating an alliance against Spain.

[8] It has been suggested that Abd al-Wahid bin Mas'ud inspired the character of William Shakespeare's Moorish hero Othello, but others have argued that there is no connection.
