Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Arabic: صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب, Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, Kurdish: سهلاحهدین ئهیوبی, Selah'edînê Eyubî) (c. 1138 – March 4, 1193), better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led Islamic opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, he ruled over Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, and Yemen. He led the Muslims against the Crusaders and eventually recaptured Palestine from the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem after his victory in the Battle of Hattin. As such, he is a notable figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam and a mystical disciple of the Qadiri Sufi order. His chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the siege of Kerak in Moab, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry.

| Saladyn |
Saladyn, Al-Malik an-Nasir Salah ad-Dunja wa-ad-Din Abu al-Muzzafar Jusuf ibn Ajjub ibn Szazi Al-Kurdi w skrócie Salah ad-Din al-Ajjubi (ur. 1137 lub 1138 w Tikricie w Mezopotamii, zm. 4 marca 1193 w Damaszku) – wódz i polityk muzułmański pochodzenia kurdyjskiego, sułtan Egiptu, władca imperium rozciągającego się od Sudanu po Syrię, od Jemenu przez Półwysep Arabski, północny Irak do wschodniej Turcji (Diyarbakır), uważany za założyciela dynastii Ajjubidów.
Saladyn zasłynął jako zręczny polityk i wódz, a przy tym mecenas sztuki i nauki (zwłaszcza medycyny), człowiek wspaniałomyślny, prawy i rycerski. Jego postać została uwieczniona przez Torquata Tassa w Jerozolimie wyzwolonej. Utworzone przez niego potężne państwo rozpadło się jednak po jego śmierci ponieważ zostało rozdzielone wolą Saladyna pomiędzy jego krewnych. Najstarszy syn, Al-Afdal został emirem Damaszku i rządził południową Syrią. Az-Zahir otrzymał natomiast Aleppo i północną Syrię. Kolejny syn Al-Aziz otrzymał Egipt, natomiast brat Saladyna Al-Adil rządził w Mezopotamii.
