Senemar or Sanamar (pronounced "Sinimmār" in Arabic: سِنِمَّار) was a legendary Byzantine architect who is said to have built the Khawarnaq Palace (Arabic: الخورنق) on the request of the Lakhmid king, Al-Nu'man I, in the fifth century. His story has inspired the Persian and Arabic proverb, "Senemar’s compensation" or "Senemar’s Reward" (juzʾ Sinimmār), expressing a situation where one does good work but is instead punished or given an unfair or too small reward.
