Ahmed Khairi Sa'id (Arabic: أحمد خيري سعيد) was an Egyptian literary figure, theoretician of Al-Madrasa al-Ḥadītha,[1] and editor of its publication: al-Fajar.[2]

Muhammad Amin Hassuna described him as a Bohemian and Epicurean.[1] He originated the concept of "al-Hadam wal-Bina'" (الهدم والبناء "destruction and construction") and called for literary renewal.[1] He also coined the slogan of Al-Madrasa al-Ḥadītha: "Long live authenticity, long live innovation. Long live renewal and reform." (فلتحيا الأصالة ، فليحيا الإبداع . فليحيا التجديد والإصلاح).[3][4]

He is considered a father of the modern Arabic short story, along with Mahmud Taymur, Mahmud Tahir Lashin, Yahya Haqqi, and others.[5]

Muhammad Amin Hassuna profiled him in his column on Modern Arabic literature in Al-Hadith.[6]
