Muhammad bin 'Abd ar-Rahman bin 'Obayd Allah (Template:Lang-ar), known as Muhammad III (Arabic: محمد الثالث) was an Umayyad Caliph of Cordoba in the Al-Andalus (Moorish Iberia). He ruled after the death of Abd ar-Rahman V from 1024 to 1025 when the people of Córdoba revolted against him. He left the city then. It is believed that he died of poison when he was 50 years old. He was also the father of the famous poet Wallada bint al-Mustakfi.
