Abu al-Walīd Ibn al-Shihna (Lisān ad-Dīn ʾAbū'l-Walīd Muḥammad ibn Kamāladdīn Muḥammad ibn aš-Šiḥna al-Halabī al-Ḥanafī, 1348–1412; AH 749–815) was a Mamluk-era Syrian Hanafi scholar and historian.
His Rawḍ al-manāẓir fī ʿilm al-awāʾil wa l-awāẖir ("Garden of the spectacles of the history of antiquity and modernity")[1] details the talks he held with Timur as the representative of the scholars of Aleppo after Timur's conquest of Aleppo in 1400.
His son Muḥibb ad-Dīn ʾAbū al-Fadl Muḥammad Ibn aš-Šiḥna al-Halabī (1402–1485) was the chief judge of Aleppo for the Hanafi school of law.
