The Personal aide to the President of the Arab Union (Arabic: المساعد الشخصي لرئيس الاتحاد العربي al-musāʿid ash-shakhṣī li-raʾīs al-ittiḥād al-ʿarabī), informally shortened to the presidential personal aide (المساعد الشخصي الرئاسي al-musāʿid ash-shakhṣī ar-riʾāsī), is the seniormost secretary of the President of the Arab Union. As part of the President's inner circle, the presidential personal aide accompanies the President to all official events and on all official trips, serving as an executive liaison between the President himself and the rest of the presidential inner circle (including other aides, administrative assistants, domestic assistants, official transportation personnel, etc.). The presidential personal aide is also responsible for ensuring the preparation, organisation and timeliness of the President's appearance at official functions, and can be considered the closest civil servant to the presidency.

The current Personal aide to the President is Yasmin Azarian, in office since September 2022.
