Mulay ˤLi Shrif (Standard Arabic: مولاي علي الشريف Mawlāy ˤAlī Sharīf', sometimes romanised Moulay Ali Cherif) was the grandson of l-Hesn d-Dakhl and is considered to have been the founder of the Alaouite Dynasty. He began to increase his power in the Tafilalt during the anarchy following the death of the Saˤdi Ahmad I al-Mansur (1578–1603) and ruled that region from (1631–1640).

In 1659, the last ruler of the Saˤdi was overthrown by Mulay ˤLi Shrif's son, Mulay r-Rshid (1664–1672) in the conquest of Marrakesh. After the victory over the Dila brotherhood, who controlled northern Morocco, he was able to unite and pacify the country.

His mausoleum is in the town of Rissani in the Tafilalt region.
