Brahim Jabbour (born 2 October 1970) is a retired Moroccan long-distance runner. He specialized in the 5000 metres.

Jabbour finished sixth in the 5000 metres at the 1993 World Championships,[1] won the bronze medal at the 1994 Jeux de la Francophonie,[2] and the bronze medal in 3000 metres at the 1995 World Indoor Championships.[1]

At the Jeux de la Francophonie, Jabbour finished behind countryfellows Salah Hissou and Brahim Lahlafi; this was one of three all-Moroccan podiums in this event at the Jeux de la Francophonie (the other being 1989: Saïd Aouita, Khalid Skah, Mohamed Issangar and 2001: Mohamed Amine, Abderrahim Goumri, Mohamed Saïd El Wardi).[2] Jabbour benefited from the breadth in Moroccan running at the 1998 World Cross Country Championships, when he finished fifteenth in the short race and won a silver medal in the team competition.[3] He also competed at the 1999 World Championships, but failed to reach the 5000 metres final.[1]

His personal best times were 7:35.92 minutes in the 3000 metres, achieved in July 1999 in Paris; 13:01.41 minutes in the 5000 metres, achieved in July 1999 in Saint-Denis; and 1.01:51 hours in the half marathon, achieved in September 1997 in Lille.[1]
