Sayyid Nur al-Din bin Ni'matallah al-Musawi al-Jazayiri (Arabic: نور الدين بن نعمة الله الموسوي الجزائري, romanized: Nūr al-Dīn bin Niʻmatallāh al-Jazāʼirī); 1677 – 29 December 1745) was an Iranian Ja'fari jurist, linguist and writer. He excelled in both Sharia and Arabic language sciences in the early decades of the 18th century, that is, the end of the Safavid Empire. A renowned Iranian Arab writer and orator in his time, he was born in Shushtar to Ni'matollah al-Jazayiri, a prominent Safavid Ja'fari jurist.
