Saleem Bousaid (Caraqi: سليم بوسعيد Salīm Būsɛīd; born 5 December 1962) is a Caraq Union politician who has been serving as President of the Caraq Union since 2006. He is the commander-in-chief of the Caraqi Armed Forces and the leader of the Wasalan branch of Caraqi Sahwanist Socialist Party. His father, Zaki Bousaid, was the President of Caraq from 1989 to 2006.

Born and raised in Dhul Kadad during the period of Vierz colonial rule, Bousaid attended the prestigious Vierz-language Al-Hattar School before continuing his studies at the Imperial University of Kasenberg. He dropped out and returned to Dhul Kadad, where he finished his university studies in philosophy. His father Zaki was involved in the Caraqi independence struggle and became president of the Caraq Union in 1989. Saleem joined the Caraq Union Air Force in 1991 and saw combat in the Great Bakran War. As the oldest son, he gradually became the heir apparent to his father, who he replaced as president of Caraq and leader of the Caraqi Sahwanist Socialist Party in 2006.

Most classify Bousaid's regime as a repressive, personalist, and corrupt dictatorship. Bousaid is regularly accused of inflaming ethnic and religious tensions in both Caraq and the region at-large. He and his family are the objects of a pervasive cult of personality that depicts them as the saviours of the Caraqi-speaking world and as a necessary bulwark against Western imperialism. Bousaid and his supporters are orthodox followers of Sahwanist ideology, which promotes secularism, Caraqi nationalism, and socialism.
