Musa al-Alami (died 1881) (Arabic: موسى العلمي) was mayor of Jerusalem in 1869, and from 1879 to 1881.[1]
His son, Faidi al-Alami, was also mayor of the city and his grandson, another Musa al-Alami, was assistant attorney-general of Palestine under the British mandate.[2]
The Alami family were well-educated landowners and natives of Jerusalem, who had long served as officials and qadis for the various administrations to rule Palestine.[3]
