ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abi Bakr (Arabic: عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكر; c. 596 or 605–675) was an Arab Muslim military commander and a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the eldest son of the first Rashidun caliph, Abu Bakr, and a full brother of Aisha.

Unlike most of his family, Abd al-Rahman remained a polytheist during the early years of the Islamic mission and fought for the Quraysh against the Muslims at Badr and Uhud. He converted following the Treaty of Hudaybiyah in 628 and subsequently participated in major campaigns of the early Muslim conquests, notably in Syria and Egypt. He is distinguished in Islamic historiography for being part of the only family to produce four consecutive generations of companions to Muhammad.
