Rabban Bar Ṣawma (Syriac language: ܪܒܢ ܒܪ ܨܘܡܐ, c. 1220 – January 1294), also known as Rabban Ṣawma or Rabban Çauma (Chinese: 拉賓掃務瑪; pinyin: lābīn sǎowùmǎ), was a Turkic (Uyghur or possibly Ongud) monk turned diplomat of the "Nestorian" Church of the East in China. He is known for embarking on a pilgrimage from the Yuan dynasty to Jerusalem with one of his students, Rabban Markos. Due to military unrest along the way, they never reached their destination, but instead spent many years in Ilkhanate-controlled Baghdad.
