Shaib or Sha‘ib ( '), or the Sheikhdom of Shaib ( '), was a state in the Aden Protectorate, South Arabia. The area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.

==History== The Sha`ib Sheikhdom was established at an uncertain date in the 18th century. After becoming a British protectorate, it eventually joined the Federation of Arab Emirates of the South as well as its successor, the Federation of South Arabia. Its last sheikh, Yahya Mohamed Al-Kholaqi Al-Saqladi, was exiled in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen. He died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in July 2001.
