أبو أيوب سليمان بن وهب (العربية: أبو أيوب سليمان بن وهب‎) (died July/August 885) was a senior official of the Abbasid Caliphate who served several times as vizier.

His family, the Banu Wahb, were originally Nestorian Christians from واسط, and had produced secretaries in the caliphal administration since late Umayyad times.[1] Sulayman first appears as a secretary to Caliph المأمون (r. 813–833). Under الواثق (r. 842–847), he forged ties with the powerful Turkish military, serving as secretary to the Turkish generals موسى بن بغا and Aytakh. Under المتوكل (r. 847–861) he served twice as ʿamil (supervisor of finances) in Egypt, during which time he reportedly made a fortune.[1]

As a senior court official, he distinguished himself as the patron of notable poets like Abu Tammam and البحتري. He was first appointed as vizier—by then an almost powerless office due to the internal turmoil and increasing domination of the Turkish military—towards the end of the reign of al-Muhtadi (r. 869–870), and then again in 877 and 878 under المعتمد (r. 870–892), alternating with his rival الحسن بن مخلد الجراح. His inability to counter the mounting financial crisis led to his permanent dismissal and imprisonment, dying in prison in May/June 885.[1]

Sulayman was the founder of a veritable administrative dynasty: ابنه عبيد الله، وحفيده القاسم، وابن حفيده الحسين and Muhammad all became viziers.[1]
