Al-Muzhiriyya (المزهيرية) was a Madrasa in Jerusalem.

Location
It is located on the south side of Tariq Bab Al-Hadid, just to the west of Al-Arghuniyya and north of Al-Khatuniyya. Between it and Al-Arghuniyya is a long, narrow passageway which leads to Al-Khatuniyya.

History
According to Mujir al-Din the madrasa was completed in 885 [1480-81], by Zayn al-DIn Abu Bakr b. Muzhir al-Ansarl al-Shafi‘i, a high ranking Mamluk serving in Cairo. There is some indication that his family came from Nablus, from the Muzhir clan.

Half of the revenue from Beit Sahour went to Al-Muzhiriyya.

Part of Al-Muzhiriyya was built above Al-Arghuniyya ; this part were drawn in 1909, but demolished in  1925.
