Sheikh Abdollah ibn Muhammad Najmeddin Razi (b. Rayy - d. 1247 Baghdad) was a 13th century famous Persian Sufi from Khwarezmia.

He was one of the students of the great Sufi mystic Najmeddin Kubra.

When his master was murdered in 1221 CE, he fled to Hamadan, then to Ardabil, and then to Anatolia where he finally settled with his contemporary fellow master Rumi.

There he put the teachings of his master Najmeddin Kubra into a writing in Persian called مرصاد العباد من المبدا الی المعاد

He died in 1247 CE.
