The Al-Bejat Revolution was an rebellion of the al-Bejat clan that took place in 1909 in the Baghdad Vilayet, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire.

The rebellion was initiated by the al-Bu Nasir tribe against the administration of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and its goal was to re-establish the Emirate of Tikrit and create an independent Arab state in western Iraq. The main protagonist of the rebellion was Musalat al-Nasiri, son of the last emir of Tikrit, Omar Bey III. In this battle, the Turkish army lost seventeen people, including the army commander with the rank of chief, and his two sons with the rank of lieutenant, and fourteen soldiers. Musalat, leader of the rebellion, was killed by the Ottomans along with two of his children, Mulan and Muhammad, and seven other rebels. In retaliation, Sultan Abdul Hamid II ordered the mobilization against the entire al-Bu Nasir tribe, authorizing the confiscation of their land and money and the assassination of several of their leaders, in addition to ordering the burning of the houses of all the children of Omar III.
