Zaki al-Arsuzi (Arabic: , romanized: Zakī al-Arsūzī; June 1899 – 2 July 1968) was a Syrian philosopher, philologist, sociologist, historian, and Arab nationalist. His ideas played a significant role in the development of Ba'athism and its political movement. He published several books during his lifetime, most notably The Genius of Arabic in its Tongue (1943).

“Co-founder of Ba'athism (with Aflaq and al-Bitar)” — a single phrase that gathers the spirit of the work.
