Yazaman or Yazman, surnamed al-Khadim ("the eunuch") was military governor (emir) of Tarsus for the Abbasids and chief military leader in the Muslim borderlands with the Byzantine Empire in Cilicia (the al-thughur as-Sha'miya) from 882 to his death in 891. He is celebrated for his naval raids against the Byzantines. Despite his earlier opposition to them, in 890 Yazaman swore allegiance to the Tulunids, under Ibn Tulun's son Khumarawaih. Tarsus was under Tulunid control until 897, when it was recovered by the Abbasids.
