Abu Abdallah Mohammed ibn Mohammed ibn Ali ibn Ahmed ibn Masoud ibn Hajj al-Abdari al-Hihi (Arabic: محمد العبدري الحاحي) (fl. ca. 1289) was a Maghrebi travel writer. He was born among the Haha, a Berber tribe that settled in the south of present-day Morocco. He is the author of The Maghrebi Journey (Al-Rihlah al-magribiyyah), an account of his journey to Mecca in 1289, originally entitled Rihlat al-Abdari (al-Abdari's Journey). It was published by the Ministry of Education (ed. Muhammad al-Fasi, Rabat, 1968).)

The section of the al-Rihla al-Maghreibiyya describing places in Palestine was copied by Ibn Juzayy in 1354-1355 when writing an account of the travels of Ibn Battuta. al-Abdari was also the grand Qadi (judge) of Marrakesh.
