Sameh Egyptson (born 1966 as Sameh Nabeh Basely Khalil) is an Egyptian-born Swedish writer and academic in the field of interreligious relations at the Humanities and Theology Faculties at Lund University.^[1]

Sameh Nabeh Basely Khalil was born on September 8, 1966, in Aswan, Egypt but grew up in Cairo in a Coptic Christian family. After high school, he studied Middle Eastern and Egyptian history at Ain Shams University, while also studying at the Coptic Institute in Cairo.^[2]

Khalil moved to Sweden as a political refugee in 1990 and took the name "Egyptson" in 2001.^[2][3] In Sweden, he studied language, Islamic studies, and religious studies at Uppsala and Lund Universities.^{[citation needed]}

On February 23, 2023, a seminar was held in Sweden's Riksdag (Sweden's Parliament) where Egyptson was invited by member of parliament Robert Hannah from the Liberals to present his PhD thesis.^[4] There, Egyptson criticized the Swedish politicians who he claimed have given power to an ultra-conservative group to represent Muslims in Sweden.^[5]
