Saturday Night Live Arabic (), commonly known as SNL Arabia, is an Egyptian late-night sketch comedy and variety television program broadcast on OSN Ya Hala HD. It is the Arab world's edition of the long-running American TV show Saturday Night Live on NBC. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "from Cairo, it's Saturday Night Live in Arabic" (), properly beginning the show.
The weekly program premiered on February 16, 2016, on OSN and aired on 11:30 pm EET. On October 7, 2017, at the beginning of season 4 the show started airing on ONtv. The show was suspended by the Supreme Media Council in February 2018 for containing "sexual implications".
