Abū Aqīl Labīd ibn Rabīʿa ibn Mālik al-ʿĀmirī (; c. 560 – c. 661) was an Arab poet from higher Nejd and a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
He belonged to the Bani Amir, a division of the tribe of the Hawazin. In his younger years he was an active warrior, and his verse is largely concerned with inter-tribal disputes. Later, he was sent by a sick uncle to get a remedy from Muhammad at Medina and on this occasion was much influenced by a part of the Quran's , shortest Surah, 'Al-Kawthar'. He accepted Islam soon after. One of his poems is contained in the Mu'allaqat.
