Louis Sabunji (1838–1931) was a Catholic priest and political figure who founded and edited various publications, most significantly Al Nahla (Arabic: The Bee) one of the first newspapers in Arabic based in London. Al Nahla was a monthly newspaper that contained anti-Ottoman propaganda directed at Muslims and inciting them to renounce the authority of the Ottoman ruler Abdulhamid II as a religious Caliph. Sabunji worked with American missionaries in Beirut and later converted to Islam. He also worked with the Anglican missionary George Percy Badger with whom he compiled an Arabic-English dictionary. He was also one of the earliest photographers in Beirut.
