Sayed Awad (1926-2000; Arabic: سيد عواد) was an Egyptian composer of contemporary classical music. He began his career as a violinist for the orchestra of the Cairo Opera House and later lived for many years in Jordan. He studied in Moscow with the Russian violinist and conductor David Oistrakh and received a Ph.D. in music there in 1968.

He is best known for his "Yarmouk Symphony", and for his three-act opera "The Death of Cleopatra", which is based on the epic poem by Ahmed Shawqi.
