Isa ibn Luqman al-Jumahi (Arabic: عيسى بن لقمان الجمحي) was an eighth century official of the Abbasid Caliphate.
A member of the Jumah clan of the Quraysh, he seems to have been a descendant of a rather undistinguished family.[1] He was appointed governor of Kufa by the caliph al-Mahdi in 775–776.[2] In 778 he was made governor of Egypt, and held that position for four months until early 779 when he was dismissed in favor of Wadih.[3]
