The Mufaddaaliyyat or Mofaddaliyyat ( Arabic: المفضليات / ALA-LC: al-Mufaḍḍaliyāt), meaning "The Examination of al-Mufaddal", is an anthology of ancient Arabic poems which derives its name from Al-Mufaddal, who compiled it some time between 762 and 784 CE in the latter of which years he died. It contains 126 poems, some complete odes, others fragmentary. They are all of the Golden Age of Arabic poetry (500—650) and are considered to be the best choices of poems from that period by different authors. There are 68 authors, two of whom were Christian. The oldest poems in the collection date from about 500 CE. The collection is a valuable source concerning pre- Islamic Arab life.
Along with the Mu'allaqat, Hamasah, Jamharat Ash'ar al-Arab and Asma'iyyat, the Mufaddaliyat are considered the primary source for early Arabic poetry.
