Īsā Ibn Saʿīd al-Yaḥṣubī (عيسى بن سعيد اليحصبي) (d. 397 AH) (d. 1006 AD) better known as Ibn al-Qaṭṭāʿ (إبن القطاع), was a 10th-century Andalusi Arab katib (كاتب; ) and wazir (وزير; ) of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba.

Biography
Ibn al-Qatta' was born in the region of Priego (located in the present-day province of Cordoba) to a family of humble status. They descended from the al-Najjar clan, a branch of an Arab tribe known as Banu al-Jaziri which settled in the Iberian peninsula following the Umayyad conquest. He was the son of a schoolmaster in his native town of Priego. Ibn al-Qatta' was first appointed to the position of vizier during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Hisham II ((r. 976 – 1009)) and the de facto ruler of this period, Hisham's chamberlain, Almanzor (d. 1002). Subsequently, Ibn al-Qatta' would continue in his position as a vizier under the rule of Almanzor's successor and son, al-Muzaffar (d. 1008).
