al-Ṣāliḥ Ayyūb (born 1206/07, Cairo, Egypt—died November 1249) was the last effective ruler (reigned 1240 and 1245–49) of the Ayyūbid dynasty in Egypt.
Al-Ṣāliḥ’s campaign against the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem in alliance with the Khwārezmians (1244) provoked the launching of the Seventh Crusade under Louis IX of France. Al-Ṣāliḥ died during Louis’s subsequent invasion of Egypt. The Mamlūk mercenaries to whom he had given extensive power overthrew his dynasty in 1250.
