Shaib (Arabic: شعيب‎ [Shuʿayb]), or the Sheikhdom of Shaib (Arabic: مشيخة الشعيب [Mashyakhat ash-Shuʿayb]), was a state in the British Aden Protectorate, the Federation of Arab Emirates of the South, and its successor, the Federation of South Arabia. Its last sheikh, Al Qasim ibn Abd ar Rahman of the As Saqladi dynasty, was deposed and his state was abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and the area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.
