Sayid Hassan Jarrah ( Sa‘īd Ḥassān Jarrāḥ) is a character from the ABC show Lost portrayed by Naveen Andrews.

Sayid fixes the transceiver recovered from the cockpit, and leads a group into the jungle in order to send out a distress signal. Instead, he picks up a looping message (recorded by Danielle Rousseau). He tries to locate the message's origin, but is knocked out by Locke. When Shannon suffers from a near-fatal asthma attack, Sayid brutally interrogates Sawyer in an attempt to recover Shannon's medication. Having again broken his promise never to torture again, Sayid leaves the beach to explore the island. In the jungle, he is captured by Rousseau, who tells him she was part of a science team which crashed on the island. She identifies the Others as the carriers of a sickness that her companions caught. Sayid doesn’t believe her, and leaves.

Upon returning, he seeks Shannon's help in translating maps stolen from Danielle. The two bond and eventually form a relationship. After Boone's death, Locke asks for Shannon's forgiveness. Shannon confronts Locke in the jungle, but Sayid tackles her just as she fires a gun. That night, Sayid tells Locke to take him to the hatch. Rousseau arrives on the beach one morning with news that the Others are coming to abduct a child. Later, he learns that Claire's baby, Aaron, has been kidnapped by Rousseau. Sayid surmises that Rousseau intends to attempt an exchange of Claire's baby for her own child, Alex, with the "Others". Sayid and Charlie find Rousseau's hiding place, and Rousseau returns the baby.

Flashbacks in the season reveal that Sayid served as a communications officer in the Iraqi Republican Guard and is a skilled radio and mechanical engineer. Sayid swears that he will never torture again, but later becomes a torturer for the Guard. At one point of being torturer in the Guard, he learns his victim is his childhood friend Nadia. Sayid falls in love with her, and she provides the impetus for Sayid to begin his road to redemption; he does not torture her. When Sayid learns that she will soon be executed, he helps her escape. In England, Sayid is picked up by ASIS and the CIA. They make him a deal: if Sayid can infiltrate a terrorist cell in Sydney, whose members he is familiar with, and uncover stolen C-4, then they will tell him where Nadia is.

Sayid Jarrah has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
