Ibrahim Abdel-Fattah Toukan is a Palestinian poet (born in 1905 in Nablus, Palestine - died in 1941 in Palestine), the brother of the poet Fadwa Toukan and the Jordanian Prime Minister, Ahmed Toukan.
He is considered one of the poets calling for Arab nationalism and resistance against foreign colonization of Arab land, especially the English in the twentieth century, when Palestine was under the British Mandate.
He received his primary lessons at the Rashidiya School in Nablus. This school followed a modern approach, different from what the schools were in during the Ottoman rule. This is thanks to its professors who studied at Al-Azhar, and were influenced in Egypt by the modern literary and poetic renaissance. He completed his secondary education at the Bishop's School in Jerusalem in 1919, where he spent four years, and was tutored by "Nakhla Zureik", who had a great impact on him in the Arabic language and ancient poetry. Then he joined the American University of Beirut in 1923 and stayed there for six years, during which he obtained a university degree in literature in 1929
