Al-Hakam ibn Abi al-As ibn Umayya (Arabic: الحكم بن أبي العاص بن أمية, romanized: al-Ḥakam ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ ibn Umayya; died 655/56), was the father of the founder of the Marwanid line of the Umayyad dynasty, Marwan I (r. 684–685), and a paternal uncle of Caliph Uthman (r. 644–656). He was known as a staunch opponent of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and was consequently exiled when the latter captured their hometown of Mecca in 630. He was later pardoned by Uthman.
