Muhammad Mahmoud Al-Zubairi (Arabic: محمد محمود الزبيري; 1910 – 1 April 1965) was a Yemeni poet, politician, and revolutionary[1] who was assassinated.

He is considered to be Yemen's greatest poet in the twentieth century and one of the country's most celebrated authors.

[7] Following the Dustor or Constitutional Revolution in 1948, which led to the death of Imam Yahya and the short-lived establishment of a new government, Muhammad returned to Sanaa and was appointed as Minister of Knowledge.

However, the revolution failed weeks later as Imam Yahya's son Ahmad restored the monarchy, and Al-Zubairi had to leave Sanaa to Aden again, and then to Pakistan.

When the 26 September Revolution erupted against Imam Ahmed in 1962, he returned to Yemen and became Minister of Education.
