Yassir al-Sharifi (1166-1191) was an Ayyubid soldier who garrisoned Jerusalem at the time of the Third Crusade. In 1191, he was posted in the Rich District under the command of Captain Haitham al-Mahfouz, and he took part in the assault on Islamic cleric Yaqoob el-Muhammad. He was slain by the Hashshashin Altair Ibn-La'Ahad when Altair intervened in the brawl.
