Yaḥya ū-Taʿfuft (; died 1520) was a Moroccan alcaide of the Doukkala region in the service of the King of Portugal.

Early life u-Ta'fuft was from the village of Sarnu near Safi. Portuguese sources at the time describe him as bárbaro (Berber) rather than alarve (Arab). His Berber origin is corroborated by his name u-Ta'fuft referring to the village of Tafuf or Tanfut which is a Berber toponym.
