Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Quran () or simply Al-Itqan, is a 15th-century classical work on the sciences of the Quran authored by al-Suyuti. It consists of an introduction, eighty chapters organized under six main categories—history of revelation, script, style, language, tafsir, and Qira'at (recitations)—and a concluding section.
== Background == Al-Suyuti composed Al-Itqan out of the conviction that no single work at the time comprehensively covered all aspects of the Quranic sciences. Drawing inspiration from his teacher al-Kafiji's (ar) concise treatise on tafsir and Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar al-Bulqini's extensive Mawaqi al-Ulum min Mawaqi al-Nujum, he expanded upon these earlier efforts and produced his preliminary work al-Tahbir fi Ilm al-Tafsir.
