Bashir or Bushra al-Thamali (Arabic: بشرى الثملي, romanized: Bushrā al-Thamalī) was an Abbasid military commander and governor (wali or amir) of Tarsus and the borderlands with the Byzantine Empire in Cilicia (al-thughur al-Shamiya).
Bushra was a retainer (ghulam) of the long-time governor of Tarsus, and the borderlands with the Byzantine Empire in Cilicia, Thamal al-Dulafi.
[1] In 925 he served as Thamal's deputy during the latter's absence in a campaign against the Qarmatians in Iraq.
Along with the court eunuch Muflih he supervised the prisoner exchange with the Byzantines at the Lamos River in September–October 925.
[2][3] By 938, he occupied the post the governor himself, and again supervised a prisoner exchange with the Byzantines, along with Ibn Warqa al-Shaybani.
