Iyad Makhlouf (Arabic: إياد مخلوف; born 21 January 1973), also known as Eyad Makhlouf, is a former major in the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate, a brother of Syrian businessman Rami Makhlouf and maternal cousin of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

He is sanctioned by the European Union, US Treasury, and UK Treasury for violence against the civilian population during the Syrian civil war, and for helping Rami Makhlouf or the Syrian government evade sanctions.

Shortly after the Fall of Damascus in 2024, Makhlouf was injured in a shooting that killed his brother Ihab and his mother Ghada.
