Muhammad ibn Shu'ayb al-Zarkun al-Balluti, known as Zerkounes (Greek: Ζερκουνῆς) in the Byzantine sources, was the fourth Emir of Crete.
The surviving records on the internal history and rulers of the Emirate of Crete are very fragmentary. He is tentatively identified as a son of the second emir, Shu'ayb, and the grandson of the conqueror of Crete and founder of the emirate, Abu Hafs Umar. He is believed to have reigned from c. 895 to c. 910, succeeding his brother Umar.[1][2][3]
