Joud el Bayeh (also spelled Jud Bayeh or Judd Bayeh, Arabic: جود البايع) was a Lebanese Kataeb party leader, responsible for the area of Zgharta in the North of Lebanon. His assassination on June 7, 1978 is believed to have triggered the Ehden Massacre. He was director of the Banque de la Méditerrannée (later BankMed) in Chekka, president of the municipal council of Kfardlakos (a village in Zgharta), and vice-president of the Zgharta region of the Kataeb. The Joud el Bayeh Foundation (مؤسسة جود البايع الخيرية) was created in his name.
