Ismaʿīl ibn ʿĪsā ibn Mūsā al-Hāshimī (Arabic: إسماعيل بن عيسى بن موسى الهاشمي) was an Abbasid personage and governor of Egypt.

The son of Isa ibn Musa,[1] he was appointed to Egypt by his second cousin Harun al-Rashid (r. 786–809) in 798. After an administration lasting for a few months, he was dismissed and replaced with al-Layth ibn al-Fadl.[2]
