Lebanese Melkite Christians refers to Lebanese people who are members of the Melkite Greek Catholic ChurchinLebanon, which is the third largest Christian group in the country after the Maronite Church and the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch.

The Lebanese Melkite Christians are believed to constitute about 5%^[1]^[2] of the total population of Lebanon. Note that the following percentages are estimates only. However, in a country that had last census in 1932, it is difficult to have correct population estimates.

Under the terms of an unwritten agreement known as the National Pact between the various political and religious leaders of Lebanon, the Melkite community in Lebanon has eight reserved seats in the Parliament of Lebanon.
