Rashid al-Din Vatvat

Rashid al-Din Muhammad Umar-i Vatvāt () (d. 1182–1183) was a 12th-century Sunni Khwarezmian panegyrist and epistolographer. He was born in Balkh, (now modern-day Afghanistan).
Served at the court of Khwarazmshah Kings, although he should not be mistaken for a later physician by the name Amin al-Din Rashid al-Din Vatvat. While serving as court poet, it was through him that Atsiz ibn Muhammad boasted of the end of the Great Seljuq empire.
He also composed qasidehs, but his rhetorical work "Hadā'iq al-sihr fi daqa'iq al-shi'r" ("Magic Gardens of the Niceties of Poetry") is in prose.
