Saeb Jendeya (Arabic: صائب جندية) (born May 13, 1975 in Gaza, Gaza Strip) is a former Palestinian footballer who played the Libero position for both club and country. He has amassed 70 caps since Palestine's induction into FIFA in 1998. He is the former captain of the Palestinian National Team and served as captain from 1999 to his retirement from international football in 2009, making him one of the most tenured captains in international football in terms of years served. Jendeya has scored one goal with the national team- a midfield shot against Libya in injury-time that leveled the score at 2-2 in the 1999 Pan-Arab Games. This goal allowed Palestine to advance to the knock-out stages where they eventually finished 3rd.
He captained Palestine's beach soccer team to a third place finish at the 2012 Asian Beach Games.
