Sadid al-Din Muhammad ibn Mas‘ud Kazerouni was a 14th century Persian physician from Kazerun, Fars, Iran.
He was a popular commentator on earlier medical writings, and composed a commentary titled al-Mughni fi sharh al-Mujiz on the epitome of The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna. Numerous copies of this popular commentary are preserved today, including at The National Library of Medicine.
He also composed a commentary on the materia medica that was part of the Canon of Medicine itself and a commentary on the first book of the Canon of Medicine which he completed in 1344.
He died in 1357.
