Mostafa Saadeq Al-Rafe'ie (1 January 1880 – May 1937) was an Egyptian poet, born in Egypt in Tanta, Egypt.
His maternal grandfather was Sheikh Eltoukhy (originally from Toukh, a famous Egyptian city) but was born in Aleppo and managed his business between The Levant and Egypt. Mostafa Saadeq Al-Rafe'ie became deaf after contracting typhoid fever.
Despite his hearing disability and the fact that he was self-taught, he became one of the most famous Arab poets of the early twentieth century.
He composed the words of the Egyptian national anthem Eslami ya Misr, adopted between 1923 and 1936.
The words of the Tunisian national anthem are largely the work of Al-Rafe'ie.
