Yusuf al-Khal (Arabic: يوسف الخال‎‎; December 25, 1917 – 1987) was a Lebanese poet of Syrian descent. He made his career largely in Lebanon. He was Greek Orthodox.

With Ali Ahmad Said (a.k.a. Adonis), al-Khal founded the magazine Shi'r ("Poetry") in Beirut in 1957. His poetry has also been recognized in Near East poetry collections. (Nye, 76)
