Elie Saab (Arabic: ايلي صعب) (born 4 July 1964) is a Lebanese fashion designer.

His main workshop is in Lebanon, with additional workshops in Milan and Paris.[1] He started his business in the early 1980s and specialised in bridal couture (expensive fabrics, lace, gemstones, Swarovski crystals, pearls, detailed embroidery, etc.).[2]

He is the first Lebanese to be admitted to the fashion industry's governing body, Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.[3] Saab appeared as a judge[4] on Project Runway: Middle East in 2016.[5] As of March 2017, his couture collections are available in Paris, London, and Beirut, while his ready-to-wear clothes were in 160 retailers and his own boutiques.[5] Kate Middleton wore a Saab gown to the Royal Ascot in 2019, marking the first occasion where Saab has dressed a British royal family member.[6]
