'''Hafizi Isma'ilism''' ({{langx|ar|الحافظية|translit=al-Ḥāfiẓiyya}}), also known as '''Majidi Isma'ilism''' ({{Langx|ar|المجيدية|translit=al-Majīdiyya}}), was the [[Hashemite|Non-Hashemite]] branch of [[Musta'li Ismailism|Musta'li]] [[Isma'ilism]] that emerged as a result of a split in 1132. The Hafizis accepted the [[Fatimid Caliphate|Fatimid caliph]] [[al-Hafiz|Abd al-Majid al-Hafiz li-Din Allah]] ({{reign|1132|1149}}) and his successors as [[Imamate in Ismaili doctrine|imams]], while the rival [[Hashemite]] [[Tayyibi Isma'ilism|Tayyibi]] branch rejected them as usurpers, favouring the succession of the imamate along the line of al-Hafiz's nephew, [[Abu'l-Qasim al-Tayyib|al-Tayyib]].

The Hafizi sect lost state backing and gradually disappeared from public life after the abolition of the [[Fatimid Caliphate]] in 1171 and the conquest of the Fatimid-aligned dynasties of [[Yemen]] by the [[Ayyubid dynasty]] shortly after. The last remnants of the openly Hafizi branch are attested in the 14th century in Egypt and Syria, until they remissioned into [[Taqiyya]] by the 15th century.
