Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Tumart (Berber: "Amghar ibn Tumert", , ca. 1080–1130 or 1128) was a Moroccan Muslim Berber religious scholar, teacher and political leader, from the Sous region in southern Morocco. He founded and served as the spiritual and first military leader of the Almohad movement, a puritanical reform movement launched among the Masmuda Berbers of the Atlas Mountains.
