Isa ibn Luqman al-Jumahi (Arabic: عيسى بن لقمان الجمحي) was an eighth century official of the Abbasid Caliphate.

A member of the Jumah clan of the Quraysh, he seems to have been a descendant of a rather undistinguished family. He was appointed governor of Kufa by the caliph al-Mahdi in 775–776. In 778 he was made governor of Egypt, and held that position for four months until early 779 when he was dismissed in favor of Wadih.
