al-Qasr wa as-Sayyad (Arabic: القصر و الصياد) is a village in Nag Hammadi district of Qena Governorate, Egypt.
An early center of Christianity in the Thebaid, Roman Egypt, a site frequented by Desert Fathers from the 3rd century and the site of a monastery from the 4th, it was earlier known as Chenoboskion (Greek Χηνοβόσκιον "geese pasture"), also called Chenoboscium /ˌkɛnəˈboʊʃəm/, Chenoboskia (Greek: Χηνοβοσκία, Arabic: شينوبسكيا, romanized: Šinubuskiya) and Sheneset (Coptic: ϣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲏⲧ, romanized: Šénesēt, lit. 'tree(s) of Seth', Arabic: شاناساد, romanized: Šanasad).
The Nag Hammadi library, a collection of 2nd-century Gnostic texts discovered in 1945, was found at Jabal al-Ṭārif in the Nile cliffs to the north-west.
