ʿUmar ibn al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik (Arabic: عمر بن الوليد بن عبد الملك) (fl. 705 – c. 744) was an Umayyad prince, commander in the Arab–Byzantine wars and the governor of Jund al-Urdunn (district of Jordan) during the reign of his father al-Walid I (r. 705–715). He may have patronized the Umayyad desert palaces of Khirbat al-Minya in modern Israel and Qasr Kharana in modern Jordan.
