Salim Effendi al-Husayni (Arabic: سليم الحسيني) (unknown birth–1908) was Mayor of Jerusalem from 1882 to 1897.
He built a palace in the city, which his granddaughter Hind al-Husseini later developed into the Dar al-Tifl Institution, which sheltered and educated orphaned children.
Al-Husayni died in 1908 and is buried in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, near the American Colony Hotel.
Hajj Salim al-Husseini rose to a high status in the country, and the Ottoman government had to bear him in mind, given his patriotic stances and the love that people—particularly the farmers—had for him.
He is also responsible for paving the streets of Old Jerusalem, which he both conceived and saw through, thus transforming the city into a model for cleanliness, beauty, and marvel, particularly for foreigners who used to come to visit its holy sites.
