The Zawiya of Sidi Taoudi Ben Souda (also spelled Zawiya of Sidi Tawdi ibn Suda) is a zawiya (religious complex) and mosque in Fes el-Bali, the old medina of Fes, Morocco. It is named after Muḥammad al-Tāwdī Ibn al-Ṭālib Ibn Sūda al-Murrī (died 1795), an 18th-century Sufi sheikh who is considered by some to be one of the foremost intellectuals and Muslim scholars of Morocco's history.: 420
