Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b Mūsā an-Nawbakhtī (الحسن بن موسى النوبختي; born late 9th century and died between 912 and 922) was a leading Shī'ī Muslim theologian and philosopher in the first half of the 10th century of Persian descent. The Nawbakhtī family boasted a number of scholars famous at the Abbāsid court of Hārūn al-Rashīd (786–809). Al-Ḥasan ibn Mūsa is best known for his book about the Shi'a sects titled Firaq al-Shi'a, which significantly relies on Hisham ibn al-Hakam's earlier work Ikhtilaf al-nass fi l-imama.
