Hejazi Arabic (حجازي Ḥijāzi)
Native to: Hejaz region, Saudi Arabia
Native speakers: 14.5 million (2011)
Language family: Afro-Asiatic: (Semitic)

also known as West Arabian Arabic, is a variety of Arabic spoken in the Hejaz region in Saudi Arabia. Strictly speaking, there are two main groups of dialects spoken in the Hejaz region, one by the urban population, originally spoken mainly in the cities of Jeddah, Mecca and Medina and another by the urbanized rural and bedouin populations. However, the term most often applies to the urban variety which is discussed in this article.

In antiquity, the Hejaz was home to the Old Hejazi dialect of Arabic recorded in the consonantal text of the Qur'an. Old Hejazi is distinct from modern Hejazi Arabic, and represents an older linguistic layer wiped out by centuries of migration, but which happens to share the imperative prefix vowel /a-/ with the modern dialect.

Hejazi Arabic belongs to the western Peninsular Arabic branch of the Arabic language, which itself is a Semitic language. It includes features of both urban and bedouin dialects given its history between the historical cities of Jeddah, Medina and Mecca and the bedouin tribes that lived on the outskirts of these cities in addition to the external influences from the other urban Arabic dialects (e.g. Egyptian Arabic) and more recently the influence of Modern Standard Arabic and to a lesser extent the neighboring Saudi dialects, all of which made the urban Hejazi dialect distinct from other peninsular dialects.
