Said K. Aburish (Arabic: سعيد أبو ريش‎) (born 1935, Bethany) is a Palestinian journalist and writer.

After attending school in Jerusalem and Beirut, he studied at university in the United States. He returned to Beirut in the 1950s as a reporter for Radio Free Europe and the London Daily Mail.

Aburish has written extensively on the Palestinian conflict, including the books Cry Palestine and Children of Bethany. He has also written sympathetically of the plight of Palestinian Christians in The Forgotten Faithful: The Christians of the Holy Land.

Aburish is a strong critic of the Saudi royal family, most notably in the book The Rise, Corruption and Coming Fall of the House of Saud.
