Al-Khirniq bint Badr ibn Hiffān (or Haffān; Arabic: الخرنق بنت بدر بن هفان; died c. 600) was an early Arabic elegiac poet.
She was half-sister or aunt to the poet Tarafa ibn al'Abd.
[1] Al-Khirniq's surviving diwan extends to somewhat under sixty lines, mostly preserved in the work of Abu 'Amr ibn al-'Ala'.
Her known elegies are addressed to relatives, including her brother and her husband Bishr ibn 'Amr, who was slain by neighboring tribe on Mount Qudab.
