Husayin Fakhri al-Khalidi (Template:Lang-ar, Ḥusayn Fakhri al-Khalidī) (1895-1962) was born in Jerusalem. He worked as medical doctor for the Department of Public Health in Aleppo. Khalidi was elected mayor of Jerusalem from 1934-1937. On 23 June, 1935 he founded the Reform Party and joined the Arab Higher Committee as its representative.
Khalidi was exiled to the Seychelles Islands in 1937.
