Al-Husayn ibn Jamil (Arabic: الحسين بن جميل) was a governor of Egypt for the Abbasid Caliphate, from 806 to 808.
Initially his mandate was limited to matters of prayers and security (salah) but at a later date he was granted control over the provincial finances (kharaj) as well.
A thousand men under Abu al-Nida cut off the road to Ayla and advanced into the region of Syria, where they proceeded to engage in looting and killing.
After arriving in Palestine Yahya received reinforcements sent by al-Husayn, and soon afterwards the Egyptian forces were able to defeat the rebels in battle and capture Abu al-Nida.
Yahya then proceeded to the Hawf and took up residence in Bilbays, where he reimposed order and ensured the resumption of tax payments.
