Brandon Saad (born October 27, 1992) is an American professional ice hockey forward for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Saad grew up playing hockey in his home state of Pennsylvania before joining the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League, playing two seasons with the team before being drafted in the second round, 43rd overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League in the 2011 NHL entry draft. After debuting with the Blackhawks the following season, he briefly joined the team's minor league affiliate before becoming a full-time member of the roster beginning in 2013. He is a two-time Stanley Cup champion having won with the Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015. The Blackhawks traded Saad to the Columbus Blue Jackets before the 2015–16 NHL season, during which he was named an NHL All-Star. He played in Columbus for two seasons before the Blackhawks reacquired him in another trade before the 2017–18 NHL season. During his second stint with the Blackhawks, Saad was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for one season, before signing with the St. Louis Blues. Halfway through the 2024–25 NHL season, the Blues terminated Saad's contract after not reporting to their AHL affiliate. The Vegas Golden Knights signed Saad shortly after his termination.

Internationally, Saad has represented the United States in several junior ice hockey tournaments and captured a gold medal for the nation in the 2010 World U18 Championships.

Saad was born on October 27, 1992, in Pittsburgh, to a Syrian father, George Sr., and an American mother, Sandy.

Growing up in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, Saad played minor hockey for the Pittsburgh Hornets in the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League. While playing with the U14 Hornets team in the 2005–06 season, Saad tallied 16 goals and 21 assists through 30 games. He also competed with the Hornets at the 2005 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament and at the 2007 USA Hockey National Championship. Saad split the 2007–08 season with the U18 Hornets and the Pine-Richland High Rams, where he played alongside his older brother. However, the coach of the Rams acknowledged that it was not likely Saad would remain at Pine-Richland High School because he was being scouted by the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP). While with the U18 Hornets, Saad set a program record with 54 goals and 124 points in one season. As a freshman with the Pine-Richland High Rams, Saad ranked sixth on the team with eight goals and 19 assists for 27 points. He was also recognized as a Pittsburgh North Hockey All-Star.

Saad turned down the opportunity to join the NTDP for the 2008–09 season and was subsequently drafted by the Saginaw Spirit in the first found of the 2008 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) draft. Instead of immediately joining the OHL, Saad and his older brother played the 2008–09 season with the Mahoning Valley Phantoms in the North American Hockey League (NAHL). While playing with the Phantoms, Saad was selected to represent the United States under-17 team at the 2009 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He helped the U17 team win a bronze medal and was named to the tournament all-star team. Saad returned to the Phantons following the tournament and finished his rookie season with 29 goals and 18 assists over 47 games. The league took notice of his efforts and he was named the NAHL's Rookie of the Year and selected for the First All-Star Team and All-Rookie Team.

For the 2009–10 season, Saad joined the NTDP while his brother enrolled at Pennsylvania State University. In his only season with the team, Saad recorded 29 goals and 29 assists for 58 points. After one season with the NTDP, Saad joined the Saginaw Spirit for the 2010–11 OHL season. Saad later stated that he delayed his acceptance into the OHL because he felt unprepared. He credited his time with the NTDP and at the 2010 World U18 Championships for helping him decide he was ready for the OHL. Saad began the season by scoring four goals over his first five games with the Spirit. By the end of November, Saad had recorded two hat-tricks and ranked sixth in the league in scoring with 19. Although he was named to the preliminary roster for the 2011 United States national junior team, Saad was cut before the final roster was announced. After being ranked eighth among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau in January Saad was named to Team Orr for the CHL Top Prospects game. Due in part because of a lingering groin injury, Saad's second half of the season was not as offensively productive as the first. He finished the season with 27 goals and 28 assists, with only seven of those points coming in the final 32 games of the season. While his ranking dropped from eighth to 19th by June, Saad was still expected to be drafted in the first round of the 2011 NHL entry draft. However, he was eventually drafted in the second round, 43rd overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks.

After impressing the coaching staff during the Blackhawks' training camp, Saad signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the team on October 4, 2011. It was announced that he would start the season with the Blackhawks, making him the lowest-selected Chicago draft pick to start with the Blackhawks in their draft year since defenseman Lasse Kukkonen (drafted 151st overall) in the 2003–04 season. He was expected to immediately start the season on the Blackhawks' top line as the left wing to center Jonathan Toews and right wing Patrick Sharp. Saad made his NHL debut on October 7, 2011, against the Dallas Stars and played one more game against the team before being reassigned to Saginaw on October 12. Upon returning to the Spirit, Saad made an immediate impact on the lineup by leading the league with six goals and four assists for 10 points over three games. He was recognized for his efforts with the CHL Player of the Week honor on October 24. By the end of October, Saad had accumulated 18 points over eight games. Although he would miss all of November due to a hand injury, Saad recovered in time to join the United States national junior team at the 2012 World Junior Championships in December 2011. Upon returning from the Championships, Saad maintained a 16-game point streak between January 15 and February 24. At the same time, he was also appointed team captain for the remainder of the 2011–12 season after Ryan O'Connor was traded to the Barrie Colts. He finished the regular season leading the league with 1.73 points per game as he helped th Spirit climb from ninth place to fourth in the conference standings. Saad improved on his previous seasons total with 34 goals and 42 assists for 76 points through 44 games while recording just 38 penalty minutes. As such, he became the second member of the Spirit, and to first American-born player since 1993 to win the William Hanley Trophy as the OHL's Most Sportsmanlike Player. He was also named to the OHL's 2011–12 First All-Star Team.
