The Romance of Muhammad (French Li romans de Mahon or Roman de Mahomet) is an Old French romance about the life of Muhammad in octosyllabic couplets. It was written by Alexandre du Pont in 1258 in Laon based on the earlier Otia de Machomete, a Latin poem by Walter of Compiègne. At 1,996 verses, it is almost twice as long as the Otia. It is preserved in a single manuscript in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, fonds français 1553, from the late 13th century.
