Al Bayrak (Arabic: البيرق, romanized: The Flag) was a daily newspaper published in Beirut, Lebanon.

[8][10][3] In 2009, the IREX, an international research board, cited the daily as one of the major eleven papers published in Lebanon.

[11] In 1999, Al Bayrak published an interview with Robert Hatem, who was the author of From Israel to Damascus banned in Lebanon.

[6] Due to the publication of the interview the Beirut Appeals Court prosecuted Melhem Karam and Said Nassereddine, who were editor and editor-in-chief of the paper, respectively.

[15] In the immediate aftermath of the ban a reporter working for the daily, George Hajj, was abducted in Beirut and was freed eight hours later.
