Furra or Fura was a medieval queen (Nigist) of the Sidama region in southern Ethiopia. Her story is found in folklore across the Horn of Africa—such as in the stories of Queen Gudit in Northern Ethiopian and Eritean folklore and Queen Araweelo in Somali folklore. The person behind these various alternative names is portrayed as a powerful female ruler, probably identical to Māsobā Wārq, the daughter of the last Aksumite king, Dil Na'ad, mentioned in an early Arabic source.
