Subhi Bay Barakat al-Khalidi (1889; Antioch – 1939, Turkey) (Arabic: صبحي بك بركات الخالدي) was a Syrian politician from Aleppo.^[1] During the French Mandate of Syria, he was the president of the Syrian Federation (28 June 1922-31 December 1924) and the State of Syria (1 January 1925-21 December 1925).^[1]

Initially he was a partner of Ibrahim Hanano in his revolt. He played a major role in merging the States of Aleppo and Damascus into one state,^{[citation needed]} and he quit the presidency of Syria in 1925 in protest to the French position regarding the fate of the Alawite and Druze States,^{[citation needed]} which France refused to add to Syria because it feared that might endanger the independence of the newly created Lebanon.
