Al Hajj Mahmud Kati (or Mahmoud Kati) (1468? – 1552 or 1593) was an African Muslim Songhai scholar. He is traditionally held to be the author of the West African chronicle Tarikh al-fattash, though the authorship is contested.[1]
Kati grew up in Kurmina but lived most of his adult life in Timbuktu. His tomb is the second largest in Timbuktu, after that of Mohammed Bagayogo, and is a site of pilgrimage.[1]
