Abdelkrim Rais (Fez 1912 – August 30, 1996) (in Arabic: عبد الكريم الرايس) was a Moroccan writer and musician of traditional Andalusian Music.

Known as the captain of al-Ala (Andalusian music), he was also a Rebab (spiked fiddle) virtuoso.

[2] In 1946, and after the death of his master Mohammed Al Brihi, he took over the leadership of the Arabo-Andalus Orchestra of Fez.

[3] The Orchestra was dedicated to the preservation, transmission and authentic interpretation of Arabo-Andalusian music; a repertoire which originated at the end of the Reconquista period (15–16th centuries), when Muslims and Jews were expelled from Spain.

[4] In 1969, Abdelkim Rais became the director of the Academy of Music of Fez, and remained the city's Orchestra lead until his death in 1996 at the age of 84.
