Ya'ish was the governor of Sicily for the Fatimid Caliphate in 969–970.

Ya'ish was a freedman (mawla) of al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Kalbi, the first member of the Kalbid dynasty to become governor of Sicily in 948–953.[1] Hasan was replaced by his son, Ahmad, who ruled Sicily until his recall to North Africa in 969, with Ya'ish replacing him.[2] Ya'ish however proved unable to quell the factional quarrels within his province between different Berber tribes. As a result, he was replaced in June 970 by Ahmad's brother, Ali.[3]
