Habib Chaab (Template:Lang-fa; 1973 – May 6, 2023) was an Iranian political activist from Iran with Swedish citizenship and the founder and former leader of Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz. 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.

He was executed by hanging in Iran in May 2023 after being accused of masterminding a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed 25 people.
