Ata Bey al-Ayyubi (Arabic: عطا الأيوبي, romanized: ʿAtā al-Ayyūbī; 25 March 1877 – 21 December 1951) was an Ottoman civil servant who served as president and prime minister of Syria.

Born to a prominent political family of Al-Ayoubi in Damascus, Syria, he studied public administration in Istanbul, and began his professional career in the Ottoman civil service.

In Latakia, he turned a blind eye to the activities of Omar al-Bitar, refusing, in his capacity as Minister of the Interior, to arrest the rebels, and facilitating their ambushes on French garrisons.

In August 1920, a group of armed men tried to kill Ata Bey in the province of Hawran in southern Syria.

While the Bloc discussed Syria's future, the pro-French cabinet of Prime Minister Taj al-Din al-Hasani was dissolved, and the French High Commissioner, Damien de Martel, asked Al-Ayyubi to form an independent transition government to supervise state affairs.

The new prime minister managed to form a coalition cabinet that included elements from the National Bloc and the pro-French movement.

In March 1943, during World War II, the French General Charles de Gaulle led an Allied offensive into Syria to defeat the Vichy forces stationed in Damascus.
