Sa'id ibn Yazid ibn Alqama al-Azdi
Sa'id ibn Yazid ibn Alqama al-Azdi was the governor of Egypt for the Umayyad Caliphate in 682–684.
An Arab from Palestine, Sa'id ibn Yazid was appointed by Caliph Yazid I to succeed Maslama ibn Mukhallad al-Ansari as governor of Egypt after the latter's death in early 682. Although he tried to present an image of continuity by keeping Maslama's sahib al-shurta, 'Abis ibn Sa'id al-Muradi, the local Arab settler community were opposed to him as an outsider.
In 683, the Second Fitna broke out, and soon after Yazid I's death in November, Ibn al-Zubayr was acknowledged as Caliph at Mecca. Ibn al-Zubayr gained the support of the Kharijites in Egypt and sent a governor of his own, Abd al-Rahman ibn Utba al-Fihri, to the province. Sa'id ibn Yazid chose not to offer resistance and simply retired. The Kharijite-supported Zubayrid regime was even more unpopular with the wujuh, and lasted for less than a year before the wujuh leaders called upon the Umayyad Caliph Marwan I for aid, who reconquered the province in December 684.
