Risālat al-Ghufrān, meaning The Epistle of Forgiveness, is a satirical work of Arabic poetry written by Abu al-ʿAlaʾ al-Maʿarri around 1033 CE. It has been claimed that the Risālat al-Ghufrān has had an influence on, or has even inspired, Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī was a philosopher, poet, and writer from Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Syria. Because of his controversially irreligious worldview, he is known as one of the "foremost atheists" of his time according to Nasser Rabbat.
