Khaled bin Sinan al-'Absi (Arabic: خالد بن سنان العبسي) was a semi-legendary historical figure who lived in pre-Islamic Arabia. Historically, he was a religious man who lived in the Arabian Peninsula, while exegetical traditions attribute him to be a prophet who preached Judaic monotheism amongst the people he was sent to.
