Abû al-Fath Muhammad b. `Abd al-Karîm al-Shahrastânî (1086-1153) est un philosophe et théologien musulman, d'origine perse. Il est également un historien des religions influent et un hérésiologue important. Une de ses œuvres principales est le monumental Livre des religions et des sectes (« Kitâb al–Milal wa al-Nihal »), qui fait de son auteur un pionnier de l'approche scientifique dans l'étude des religions. En effet, al-Shahrastâni s'efforce d'y décrire aussi objectivement que possible l'histoire religieuse universelle de l'humanité.
