Abu'l-Qasim Unujur ibn al-Ikhshid (Arabic: أبو القاسم أنوجور بن الإخشيد) was the second ruler of the Ikhshidid dynasty, which ruled Egypt, Syria and the Hejaz under the suzerainty of the Abbasid Caliphate but de facto autonomous. Unujur ruled from 946 to 960, but much of the actual power was held by the black eunuch Abu'l-Misk Kafur.

Unujur died in 960 CE, and was buried in Jerusalem next to his father, at a location close to the Gate of the Tribes on the Temple Mount.
