El-Sayed Mohammed Al-Tabei "El-Dhizui" (Arabic: السيد محمد التابعي الضظوي; 14 September 1926 – 24 December 1991) was an Egyptian footballer. He was born in Port Said. He competed for Egypt at the 1948 Summer Olympics and the 1952 Summer Olympics. He is the 4th all-time top scorer of the Egypt national football team.
Al-Tabei was given the nickname El-Dhizui for his likeness to a local-based Italian player called Desi Lucetti. He was first known in his home city of Port Said as Desi Al-Saghir or Desi Junior, which later changed to Deswi or El-Dhizui.
