Medjuel el Mezrab (Mujul al-Musrab al-Anzi 1828-1904) is one of the sheikhs of the Anzah tribe in the Levant from the Masaraba of the Seven, whose story is mentioned in a number of Arabic and English books with the Englishwoman Jane Digby, who later became his wife.

His life was portrayed in the 2001 series Magic of the Orient, which deals with the life story of the Orientalist Lady Jane Digby (Jane Elizabeth Digby el Mezrab), who is fascinated by the Orient and marries Sheikh Mujawal el-Mezrab.
