Souhair Ibrahim Al-Qayssei (Arabic: سهير إبراهيم القيسي) (born 31 May 1985 in Baghdad)[1] is a senior news anchor with the pan-Arab Middle East Broadcasting Center Group (MBC) presenting prime-time news for MBC1. Al-Qayssei who studied dentistry[1] is one of the leading journalists and television personalities in the Middle East. She was also a news anchor and presenter with Al Arabiya news from 2004 to 2014 and was chosen in 2008 by Fox News as among the 10 most important personalities in Iraq.[2]

In January 2016, Al-Qayssei was officially appointed as a Celebrity Partner to Iraq by the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP). In her new role she supports WFP's work in providing food assistance to conflict-affected families and internally displaced people. The surge in violence in Iraq has left over 3.2 million Iraqis displaced and in need of food assistance.[3]
