Abdullah Ibrahim (born Adolph Johannes Brand; 9 October 1934 – 15 June 2026), also known as Dollar Brand, was a South African pianist and composer.

Ibrahim has been seen as an important musician of Cape jazz. He was known for "Mannenberg", a jazz piece that became well known as an anti-apartheid anthem.[1]
