Ishāq bin Ali al-Rohawi () was a 9th-century author of the first medical ethics book in Arabic medicine.

His Ethics of the Physician contains the first documented description for peer review processes. The processes gave the fundamentals of peer review processes where practising Arab physicians were reviewed by peers on the medical treatment they provide to their patients. If the treatment of a patient was incorrectly done with negative peer reviews, then the physician is at a lawsuit liability.
