Bayek, also known as Bayek of Siwa, is a fictional character in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed video game franchise. He first appeared in Assassin's Creed: Desert Oath, the prequel novel to the video game Assassin's Creed Origins where he serves as the main protagonist. He also appears in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and in the spin-off mobile game Assassin's Creed: Rebellion. Bayek is portrayed by Abubakar Salim through performance capture.

Within the series, Bayek is depicted as the last Medjay of Ancient Egypt who lived during the final years of the Ptolemaic Kingdom before its annexation into the Roman Empire as a province. Born and raised in the remote village of Siwa, Bayek inherited the title of Medjay from his father, and dedicates his life to protecting the security and welfare of the Egyptian people. He traverses the land, fighting occupying imperialist Roman forces while a tragic past of conspiracy, loss, and death is gradually revealed. Alongside his wife Aya, they are the founders of the Hidden Ones, the precursors to the modern Assassin Brotherhood which is inspired by the real life Order of Assassins.

Bayek has been received positively and is one of the more popular Assassin protagonists in the series. Various merchandise for the character, as with other of the series' protagonists, has been released.

The player experiences Bayek's life as part of a simulation played by another in-game protagonist, Layla Hassan. The name Bayek is a play on the hieroglyphic word for falcon or vulture, in line with a longstanding tradition of naming protagonist characters in the series after birds of prey. Bayek shares a symbiotic relationship with his eagle, Senu, who aids him in reconnaissance. Senu is considered to be the living precursor to the series’ Eagle Vision, and can be upgraded to distract and attack enemies. For the majority of the game, Bayek is not an Assassin but a Medjay, a well-known and respected man in ancient Egyptian society, and as such there is less emphasis for him to lurk in the shadows or blend in with crowds compared to previous Assassin's Creed protagonists. As the player character, Bayek also serves as a lens through which players could understand the importance of religion and ritual daily life in ancient Egypt, and the larger societal issues at play in Ptolemaic Egypt such as class conflict between ethnic Greeks and native Egyptians. Bayek's narrative journey also reveals the origins of staple traditions in the series like the feather ritual, cut finger, and the leap of faith.

Bayek Of Siwa has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
