Best Answer

It depends on what you mean.

If you are asking whether there was ever a Catholic Pope in Rome who was Arab, the answer is No. With the exception of Pope Francis, all of the Popes throughout history have come from Europe.

If you are asking about any pope at all, then many of the Coptic Popes in Alexandria have considered themselves Arabs.
