Osama Krayem (Arabic: أسامة كريم; born 16 August 1992), who also used the name Naïm or Naim al Hamed, is a Swedish-born convicted terrorist and mass murderer. He is of Palestinian descent, born in Malmö to parents who immigrated from Syria. In 2022 he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for having assisted in planning the 2015 Paris attacks including obtaining weapons, and in 2023 and 2025 twice to life in prison for participation in the 2016 terror attacks in Belgium and in the 2015 ISIL-perpetrated burning alive of a Jordanian Air Force pilot.

Krayem was involved in the 2015 Paris bombings and the 2016 Brussels bombings.

In Brussels, he was one of five men arrested on 8 April 2016 by the Belgian police. On 25 July 2023 Krayem was found guilty of terrorist murder in the 2016 attacks. Krayem had been seen with the Metro bomber who blew himself up at Maelbeek.

Krayem was present at the burning alive of the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh, which U.S. President Barack Obama described as "vicious".
