Saad ( Arabic: سعد, romanized: Saʿd) is a common male Arabic given name. The name stems from the Arabic verb sa‘ada (‏ سَعَدَ‎ 'to be happy, fortunate or lucky').

Saad is the stem of variant given names Suad and Sa‘id.

It may be a shortened version of Sa'd al-Din, and is not to be confused with it. It is not the same as the single Arabic letter ṣād, which has no intrinsic meaning.
