Kamil al-Husayni (Arabic: كامل الحسيني, also Kamel al-Hussaini) (23 February 1867 – 31 March 1921) was a Sunni Muslim religious leader in Palestine. He was the Hanafi Mufti of Jerusalem from 1908, and in 1918 the British Mandate authorities appointed him as the first "Grand Mufti of Jerusalem", a title they had copied from the Grand Mufti of Egypt. The British referred to him as "the representative of Islam in Palestine and a member of the oldest nobility of the country".
