Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi (Arabic: أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْحُسَيْنِيُّ الْقُرَشِيُّ) was the fourth caliph[note 1] of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, starting from 30 November 2022. His position was announced by the ISIL spokesman Abu Omar al-Muhajir in an audio recording stating that the previous leader Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi was killed in battle.[3][4] He was killed on 3 August 2023.[5]

Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi replaced him as the next caliph of Daesh.[6]
