The Murusade (Somali: Murursade, Mursal; Arabic: مرسذه ,مرسل), commonly referred to in contemporary usage as Mursal, are a Somali sub-clan belonging to the Karanle branch, which is part of the larger Hawiye clan family. They are primarily located in central Somalia, particularly the regions of Galgaduud, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, and the Banaadir.
Traditionally, the Mursal have been nomadic pastoralists, coastal dwellers, merchants, and farmers. Historically regarded as an affluent and influential clan, they are recognized as some of the earliest inhabitants of Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia.
