Turki bin Mubarak al-Binali (Arabic: تركي بن مبارك البنعلي, romanized: Turkī bin Mubārak al-Binʿalī; 3 September 1984 – 31 May 2017) was a Bahraini-born Islamist jihadist and theologian. He was a senior member of the Islamic State (IS), leading the Maktab al-Buhuth wa al-Dirasat ('Office of Investigation and Studies'), "an independent entity concerned with researching Shari'i issues, and issuing fatwas", and thus had great religious authority in the organization.
