Mehdi Abeid (Arabic: مهدي عبيد; born 6 August 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al-Raed and the Algeria national team.

On 1 November 2014, three years after he signed for the club, Abeid made his Premier League debut for Newcastle United, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win over Liverpool.

[17] On 30 August 2016, the second spell of Abeid with Panathinaikos was officially terminated, since the Algerian international central midfielder joined Dijon FCO.

The 24-year-old former player of Newcastle United, who failed to repeat the impressive performances of 2013–14 season after his return to the Greens at summer of 2015 and was not in manager Andrea Stramaccioni's plans, signed a three-season contract with the French club, while Panathinaikos kept a percentage of his rights, in order to make some profit in case of a future transfer.
