阿布·阿里·侯赛因·本·阿卜杜拉·本·哈桑·本·阿里·本·西那（阿拉伯文：أبو علي الحسين بن عبد الله بن الحسن بن علي بن سينا，波斯文：ابوعلی حسین بن عبدالله بن حسن بن علي بن سینا；980年—1037年6月），一般简称伊本·西那（阿拉伯文、波斯文：ابن سينا），塔吉克人，生于布哈拉附近。中世纪波斯哲学家、医学家、自然科学家、文学家。欧洲人称其为阿维森纳（又译阿维真纳；希臘語：Aβιτζιανός，拉丁語：Avicenna）。
Declaratio Lapis physici Avicennae filio sui Aboali
Avicennae de congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum
Avicennae ad Hasan Regem epistola de Re recta
其中Liber Aboali Abincine de Anima in arte Alchemiae最有影響力，影響了像博韦的樊尚等中古時期化學家及炼金术士，不過Anawati認為這本是西班牙人寫的，而Declaratio Lapis physici Avicennae filio sui Aboali也認為不是伊本·西那所著。第三本 (The Book of Minerals) 認為是伊本·西那的作品[12]
伊本·西那以亞里斯多德及贾比尔的概念為基礎，將礦物分類為石頭、可熔物質、硫及鹽[13]。Avicennae ad Hasan Regem epistola de Re recta中對煉金術的懷疑較少，Anawati認為是伊本·西那所寫，但是是在較早期，他還不太確定物質之間不可能嬗变時所寫的[12]。

This was 'Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Abdallah ibn Sina (980–1037), called Avicenna in the West, the greatest physician of Islam. ... Many of his observations on chemistry are included in the Kitab al-Shifa, the "Book of the Remedy".
