Mostafa Nissaboury (born in Casablanca in 1943) is a Moroccan poet.[1][2]

Nissaboury was one of the co-founders of the magazine Anfas/Souffles ("Breaths") with Abdellatif Laabi. Nissaboury was an avant-garde bilingual quarterly that published essays, poetry, and fiction. The magazine Souffles was banned in 1971[3] and Abdellatif Laabi was put in jail by the Moroccan authorities. In an 2016 interview with Le360, Nissaboury declared he and Laabi stopped being in touch after the latter detention. When asked about the magazine's political stances, he declared he was no longer part of the magazine staff at the time.[4]

In 1964, alongside Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, Nissaboury wrote the manifest "Poésie Toute," an important milestone in the history of Moroccan literature.[5] In Casablanca, he opened a house solely devoted to poetry. His works greatly contributed to the renewal of Moroccan poetry.[6]
