Zuhayr bin Abī Sulmā (Arabic: زهير بن أبي سلمى; c. 520 – c. 609), also romanized as Zuhair or Zoheir, was a pre-Islamic Arabian poet who lived in the 6th & 7th centuries AD.
Zuhayr's poems can be found in Hammad Ar-Rawiya's anthology, the Mu'allaqat ("the Suspended"), a collection of pre-Islamic poetry.
He was one of the seven poets featured in that collection who were reputed to have been honoured by hanging copies of their work in the Kaaba at Mecca.
He was a man of rank and wealth, the foremost of a family noted for their poetic skill and religious earnestness.
Zuhayr's poetry inspired Saudi land artist Zahrah al Ghamdi's 2018 installation After Illusion which was shown as part of the Venice Biennale.
