The '''Zirid dynasty''' ({{lang-ber|ⵉⵣⵉⵔⵉⴻⵏ ''Tagelda en Ayt Ziri''}}, {{lang-ar|زيريون}} /[[ALA-LC]]: ''Zīryūn''), also called '''Banu Ziri''', was a [[Sanhaja]] [[Berbers|Berber]] [[dynasty]] from current [[Algeria]], which ruled the central [[Maghreb]] from 972 to 1014 and ''[[Ifriqiya]]'' (eastern Maghreb) from 972 to 1148.<ref name="Britanica">{{Cite news|url=https://global.britannica.com/topic/Zirid-Dynasty|title=Zirid Dynasty {{!}} Muslim dynasty|newspaper=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.qantara-med.org/qantara4/public/show_document.php?do_id=596|title=Qantara - Les Zirides et les Hammadides (972-1152)|website=www.qantara-med.org|access-date=2016-11-27|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303182235/http://www.qantara-med.org/qantara4/public/show_document.php?do_id=596|archivedate=3 March 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
Descendants of [[Ziri ibn Manad|Ziri ibn Menad]], a military leader who rallied to the Cairo-based [[Fatimid Caliphate]] and gave his name to the dynasty, the Zirids were emirs who ruled in the name of the Fatimids. They gradually established their autonomy until officially breaking with the Fatimids in the mid-11th century. Transmitting power by hereditary means, they constituted a true dynasty.{{clarify |date=April 2017 |reason= Not clear why this statement is included. Is it intended to distinguish the Zirids from other ruling castes which were not hereditary dynasties? If so, which? }} They were the third Muslim dynasty of Berber origin in the Maghreb during the Middle Ages. It opened the way to a period in Maghrebi history where political power was held by Berber dynasties such as the [[Almoravid dynasty]], [[Almohad Caliphate]], [[Zayyanid dynasty]], [[Marinid dynasty]] and [[Hafsid dynasty]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.fr/books?id=qDFcD0BuekQC&pg=PA172&dq=zirid+map&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0CFIQ6AEwB2oVChMIvZ2d6MW_yAIVy-4aCh2pMA3k#v=onepage&q=zirid%20map&f=false|title=Africa from the Seventh to the Eleventh Century|last=Hrbek|first=Ivan|last2=Africa|first2=Unesco International Scientific Committee for the Drafting of a General History of|date=1992-01-01|publisher=J.
