Ibrahim Qashoush (Arabic: إبراهيم قاشوش, transliterated as Ibrāhīm Qāšūš; born September 3, 1977 in Hama, Syria; died July 3 or July 4, 2011 in the same place) was the victim of a murder that took place during the Syrian Civil War. Posthumously, the international media ascribed him the role of a leading author and singer of protest songs in his home city. He became a symbolic figure of the civil war as a civilian presumably murdered as revenge for his musical performances. Later media reports, however, call this account into question.
