Qadi Kamal al-Din Husayn ibn Mu'in al-Din Ali Maybudi ( fa, قادی کمال الدین حسین بن معین الدین علی میبدی), better known as Qadi Husayn Maybudi (), was an Iranian scholar and ''qadi'' (judge) in the city of Yazd under the Aq Qoyunlu. He was executed in 1504 after having participated in a failed revolt against the Safavid Iran, Safavid shah (king) Ismail I ().

Biography

Born in 1449, Maybudi was presumably a native of the city of Maybud in southern Iran, rather than the neighbouring city of Yazd. The area was then part of the Timurid Empire. He belonged to an affluent and influential family of aristocratic origin. He was the son of Khwaja Mu'in al-Din Ali, a prominent philanthropist and vizier of Yazd. At a young age, Maybudi left for Shiraz to study under prominent scholars such as Jalal al-Din Davani (died 1503). He was executed in 1504 after having participated in a failed revolt against the Safavid Iran, Safavid shah (king) Ismail I (). He was survived by at least one of his sons, Mirza Abd al-Rashid al-Munajjim.
