Salim Nassib Lahoud (1910–1971) was a Lebanese Maronite Christian political figure who was a Member of Parliament and Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Defense of Lebanon in the 1950s among other ministerial posts.
Lahoud was elected to the Lebanese Parliament in 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1968 as an ally of the National Liberal Party of president Camille Chamoun.
He was married to Nadia Lahoud, née Yared.
Lebanon is governed through a multi-confessional political system where since the 1990 Taef accord the presidency is earmarked for a Maronite Christian, the post of PM for a Sunni Muslim and the post of Parliament speaker for a Shia Muslim.
Population trends as well as emigration (to Brazil, Argentina, USA, Canada, Europe, Australia) has since changed the social fabric drastically.
