Louis Cheikhô (* 5th February 1859 in Mârdîn, Upper-Mesopotamia, Iraq; † 1927 in Beirut) (born Rizqallâh Cheikhô) was an Orientalist and Theologian.
Cheikhô followed his brother into the school of the Jesuits at Ghazîr in Libanon in 1868. There he learned both ancient and modern European and oriental languages. From there in 1874 he went to the Jesuit seminary at Lons-le-Saunier in France. He also travelled to Great Britain, and Austria. Finally he based himself in Beirut, where he published unedited Christian Arabic texts and founded the journal al-Machriq(see also Maschrek).
His work was an inspiration for CEDRAC.
