Issam al-Khawlani (Arabic: عصام الخولاني) was an Arab Muslim military commander active during the early 10th century. He is primarily known for leading the conquest of the island of Majorca in 903 CE on behalf of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba. His successful campaign brought the Balearic Islands under Muslim control and integrated them into the broader Islamic realm of al-Andalus.
