Johannes Alabi (also Arabi)(c. 1743–1820) was granman of the Saramaccans, a Maroon people in Suriname. He was of Yoruba West African descent. Alabi was born around 1743 in Munyawoyokiiki in Boven Suriname. His father would later become granman (paramount chief) of the tribe. In 1767 his father was killed by the Matawai, and he swore to revenge his father's death. In September 1767, elders of the tribe persuaded to bury the hatchet, because he could become the next granman. He came into contact with missionaries of the Moravian Church who taught him to read and write, and he aided them with the development of a Saramaccan-German dictionary. On 6 January 1771, he was christened. In 1783, he was elected granman of his tribe. He died in 1820.

- Alabi, ook bekend als Araby of Arabi (1743–1820), was een opperhoofd van de Saramaccaners, een stam van Marrons in Suriname. Alabi werd geboren omstreeks 1743 in aan de Boven-Surinamerivier. Hij was een Yoruba, dus van West-Afrikaanse afkomst. Sedert 1762 had de koloniale overheid een vredesovereenkomst met de Saramaccaners. Op grond daarvan dienden de Saramaccaners de overheid te helpen in de strijd tegen marrongroepen die plantages aanvielen. In 1767 hadden de Matawai een aanval gepleegd op een plantage in Para. Bij een vergeldingsaanval van de overheid gesteund door Alabi's vader, granman Abini, kwam laatstgenoemde om het leven. De stamoudsten haalden Alabi echter over geen wraak te nemen op de Matawai, daar hij eens volgende granman zou kunnen worden. Zendelingen van de Moravische kerk leerden Alabi lezen en schrijven; hij hielp hen omgekeerd bij de ontwikkeling van een Saramaccaans-Duits woordenboek. In 1771 werd Alabi door Christoph Kersten christelijk gedoopt en vanaf dan Johannes Alabi genoemd. In 1783 werd Alabi verkozen tot granman van zijn stam. Hij stierf in 1820. (nl)
