Sayssouq (Arabic: سيسوق) is a village in Akkar Governorate, Lebanon.
The population in Sayssouq is mainly Maronite.[2]
In 1838, Eli Smith noted the village as Seisuk, whose inhabitants were Sunni Muslims and Maronite, located west of esh-Sheikh Mohammed.[3]
In 1856 it was named Seisuk on the Kiepert's map of Palestine/Lebanon that Heinrich Kiepert published that year,[4]
