Ahmad Ziad Zukkari (Ziad Zukkari) (Arabic: زياد زكاري), (1926 – 11 September 2014) was a Syrian modern artist, painter and calligrapher. He was mainly a figurative painter who specialised in traditional scenes that represent traditional architecture and costumes. He also executed postage stamps. He painted most Syrian monuments and costumes. He was active starting in the mid-XIXth century, and was "the first to document the Syrian cultural heritage... omitting neither a comma nor a period." The historian Muhammad Bashir Zuhdi (1927–2020) stated that Zukkari "replaced the photographic camera with brushes". He painted the old souqs and khans, the monuments of Palmyra, and old popular costumes. The artist and art critique Adib Makhzoum stated that Zukkari is "an important source for documenting local costumes".
