Mohammed Ali Al-Dibiski, commonly known as Ali Al-Biski (Arabic: علي البسكي; 1941 – 24 April 2019), is a Libyan former footballer who played as a striker. Although he did not score in FIFA approved competitions due to Libya's lack of participation at the time, he is the Libya national team's all-time top scorer.[1][2]

Al-Biski was the top scorer of the 1965 Pan Arab Games and the 1966 Arab Nations Cup, and praised for his teamwork, dribbling and positioning by the Egyptian media.[3] Al-Biski was also twice the top scorer of the Libyan Premier League: in 1965 with Al-Madina SC and in 1968 with Al Ahli Tripoli.
