Muhammad al-Tijani (Arabic: محمد التيجاني, romanized: Muḥammad al-Tījānī; born 2 February 1943) is a Tunisian Islamic scholar, academic, and theologian.

Al-Tijani was born in a Tunisian Sunni Muslim family of the Maliki school.

Upon returning to Tunisia, al-Tijani started actively promoting and spreading Salafism during the religious classes and sermons that he gave, including in the Great Mosque of Kairouan.

On the way back to Tunisia, al-Tijani met a Shi'i Iraqi lecturer from the University of Baghdad named Mun'im.

Al-Tijani spent several weeks with Mun'im; visited Baghdad and Najaf, and met with several leading Twelver Shi'i scholars, including Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei, Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, and Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i, who taught him about Shi'a Islam.
