    Abū l-Sharaf Nāṣiḥ b. Ẓafar b. Saʿd Jurfādaqānī (Jarfādaqānī) was a prose writer, poet, and translator active during the thirteenth century. He lived in Azerbaijan and served at the court of the Atabegs (Ildegizids). He is known to have composed poetry in Arabic and translated the Yamīnī History of Abū Naṣr ʿUtbī into Persian. There is also some Persian poetry attributed to Jurfādaqānī in the later Persian historical work of Waṣṣāf. Jurfādaqānī may have also spent some time in Isfahan. Of the time and place of his death, nothing extant is known.
