Saad Z. Nagi (born in Egypt, April 30, 1925, died Dublin, Ohio February 9, 2017) was an American sociologist whose framework and research in the field of disability continues to underlie current U.S. disability policy, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. Through his career, he held joint appointments in the Department of Sociology and the Department of Physical Medicine at the Ohio State University, as well as the positions of Mershon Professor of Public Policy, Chair of the Sociology Department at the Ohio State University (1982-1989) and Director of the Social Research Center at American University in Cairo (1990-1995). In his later years, he served a stint as editor of Population Review and as a member of the Board of Directors of Triglav Circle until his death. In addition to his work in disability, some of Nagi's other work includes research related to institutions dealing with child maltreatment, and first of its kind study on poverty in Egypt.
