Wahb ibn Munabbih (Arabic: وَهْبُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ) was a Yemenite Muslim traditionist of Dhamar (two days' journey from Sana'a) in Yemen. He was a member of Banu Alahrar (Sons of the free people), a Yemeni of Persian origin.

He is counted among the Tabi‘in and a narrator of Isra'iliyat. By integrating Biblical material and Arabian lore, he enabled to construct a holistic approach to sacred history as laid out by the Quran. He was also known as the author of The Book of Crowns on the Kings of Himyar.
