Haj Driss Touimi Benjelloun est un chanteur munshid marocain originaire de Fès, de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle.

Il pratiquait son art principalement dans la musique arabo-andalouse Ala, dans les groupes ou juq de Fès avec Azzuz Bennani et surtout al-Brihi. Il avait la réputation de connaitre les modes andalous et les poèmes soufis par cœur, avec un accent fassi (de Fès) très attachant. Il existe un enregistrement de 1920 où on entend aussi la puissance et la virtuosité de Benjelloun ainsi que celles de la firqat (petit orchestre) d’al-Brihi.

Il a fondé avec Malika Belmehdi El Fassi Jamiyât Houat El moussika al andaloussia et a créé en 1958 l’Association des amateurs de la musique andalouse au Maroc (AAMAM).
