Marwān ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwān (Arabic: مروان بن عبد الملك بن مروان) (d. 715/16 or 716/17), referred to as Marwān al-Akbar (Arabic: مروان الأكبر, lit. 'Marwan the Elder') to distinguish him from his younger half-brother with the same name, was an Umayyad prince, son of Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, (r. 685–705) and one-time heir to the caliphate.
