Al-Abas ibn al-Valid

Al-Abas ibn al-Valid (Al-‘Abbas ibn al-Walīd; ? - 750) bio je omejadski arapski princ i vojskovođa. Bio je sin kalifa Al-Valida I. Na početku 8. vijeka, odnosno za vrijeme vladavine svog oca i nekoliko nasljednika, se istakao u bizantsko-arapskim ratovima, pogotovo zajedno sa svojim stricem Maslamom. Sredinom 740-ih je postao upetljan u građanske ratove koji su potresli Kalifat. General Marvan ibn Muhamed ga je dao zatvoriti; u tamnici je izbila epidemija, te se al-Abas zarazio i umro 750.
