Muhammad al-Jizawi (1874–1927) was an Egyptian religious scholar. He was Grand Imam of al-Azhar from 1917 until 1927, an eventful time in Islam and the modern history of Al-Azhar University. Under his tenure he witnessed Egypt's 1919 revolution, and the abolition of the Caliphate; the 1924 King Fuad I Edition of the Qur’an was published; and the Supreme Council of al-Azhar sentenced Ali Abdel Raziq to exclusion from the Ulama. Abdel Raziq's brother would later become Grand Imam.
