Nasib Arida (Arabic: نسيب عريضة, ALA-LC: Nasīb ʻArīḍah; 1887–1946) was a Syrian-born poet and writer of the Mahjar movement and a founding member of the New York Pen League.

Arida was born in Homs to a Syrian Greek Orthodox family where he received his education until his immigration to the United States in 1905.

In 1913, Arida founded Al-Funoon,[2] which was "the first attempt at an exclusively literary and artistic magazine by the Arab immigrant community in New York.

"[3] In 1915[4] or 1916[5] along with Abd al-Masih Haddad he co-founded the Pen League in New York, an Arabic-language literary society, later joined by Kahlil Gibran, Mikha'il Na'ima and other Mahjari poets in 1920.

Similar to other Syro-Lebanese writers and intellectuals of his time, Arida opposed the Ottoman rule on Syria and repression of Syrian nationalism.
