Habbus bin Maksen al-Muzaffar (Arabic: حبوس بن ماكسن بن زيري), of the Berber Zirid dynasty, was ruler of the Taifa of Granada from 1019 to 1038.[1] He was the successor to his uncle Zawi ben Ziri. Under his rule, the prestige of the taifa was greatly increased, and he carried out military campaigns against neighbor states, increasing Granada's territory.

He had two sons, Badis and Buluggin, and was succeeded by Badis.
