Yahya ibn Tamim (Arabic: يحي بن تميم) was the Zirid ruler of Ifriqiya from 1108 to 1116 CE.
[1] Yahya inherited the throne from his father, Tamim ibn al-Mu'izz, in 1108.
[1] Tamim's long reign had left the Zirids weakened, as the Hilalian invasions had reduced their authority to the Tunisian coast, from Sousse to Gabes.
Furthermore, Ifriqiya now faced a powerful Christian enemy in the form of the Italo-Norman Kingdom of Sicily to the north.
[1] In response, Yahya built a strong fleet, with which he raided the Republic of Genoa and Sardinia.
