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, Yahya ibn Mutahhar al-Saqladi, 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.
