Habib Farajollah Chaab (Template:Lang-fa; Template:Lang-ar), known as Habib Asiod (Template:Lang-fa; 1 July 1973 – 6 May 2023), was an Iranian Arab political activist with Swedish citizenship, founder and leader of Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz. In October 2020, having lived in exile in Sweden for 14 years, he visited Turkey where he was abducted and smuggled to Iran. Turkish security sources state that Iranian intelligence was behind Chaab's kidnapping.

Chaab was executed by hanging in Iran, on 6 May 2023, after being accused of masterminding a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed 25 people. He was 49. The European Union afterwards strongly verbally condemned the execution and reiterated its strong opposition to the application of the death penalty in all circumstances.
