ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAqīl (Arabic: عبد الرحمن بن عقيل) was one of Husayn ibn Ali's companions who was killed in the Battle of Karbala (680), where he is regarded as one of the martyrs. He was a son of Aqil ibn Abi Talib (c. 580 – 670 or 683) and both a nephew and a son-in-law of the fourth caliph and first Shi'ite Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (c. 600 – 661).
