Sheba, or Saba, was an ancient South Arabian kingdom that existed in Yemen before 275 CE. It likely began to exist between c. 1000 BCE and c. 800 BCE. Its inhabitants were the Sabaeans, who, as a people, were indissociable from the kingdom itself for much of the 1st millennium BCE. Modern historians agree that the heartland of the Sabaean civilization was located in the region around Marib and Sirwah.

シバ王国もしくはシェバ王国（-おうこく、英語：Sheba、ヘブライ語：שבא、ヘブライ語の英語転写：sh'va, Saba、アラビア語：سبأ、アムハラ語：ሳባ）は旧約聖書に登場するシェバという土地に存在する国家である。ソロモン王とシバの女王の物語で知られている。 アラビア語で「サバア（سبأ、Saba'）」、ヘブライ語で「シェバ（שבא）と呼ばれ、英語ではヘブライ語を転写した「シーバ（Sheba）」と呼ばれている。日本語では英語名のシーバが変化した「シバ」という表記も用いられる。 日本においては、旧約聖書の『列王記』で言及される「シェバ」、中世アラビア語文献で言及される南アラビアのサバア（サバ）王国、南アラビアの一次史料（碑文）に確認される国家の「シャバァ」は、同一のものと見なされることが多い。1世紀の歴史家フラウィウス・ヨセフスは著書『ユダヤ古代誌』においてエジプト南部の中心都市を指す「サバ（メロエ）」と旧約聖書のシェバを同一視し、5世紀の歴史家フィロストルギオスは『教会史』でサバ王国を旧約聖書に現れるシェバの国と解説した。
