Ghālib ibn Musā‘id ibn Sa‘īd (Arabic: غالب بن مساعد بن سعيد) was a sharif of the Zayd clan who served as Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1788 to 1813.
In Rabi al-Thani 1202 (January 1788) his brother Surur died and was succeeded by his brother Abd al-Mu'in, who abdicated to Ghalib within a few days. He received his investiture after the arrival of the imperial firman (proclamation) and khil'ah (robe of honor) from Istanbul on 29 Dhi al-Qi'dah 1202 AH (c. 1 September 1788).
He was deposed by Muhammad Ali Pasha in Dhi al-Qi'dah 1228 AH (October/November 1813). Muhammad Ali exiled Ghalib to Egypt, but in 1814 the central government arranged for him to be moved along with his family to Selanik (Thessaloniki).
