Sulaibiya () or Al-Sulaibiya is a suburban neighbourhood in Al Jahra Governorate, Kuwait. It covers an area of roughly and has a population of around 38,000 residents. Established in 1980, the area initially served as a camp for Bedoon (stateless) people. In 1982, it was developed into a residential area.
The suburb has become famous for being a haven for Bedoon residents, a marginalized group that has been caught in legal limbo, unable to gain citizenship while facing discrimination and lack of access to employment, education, and social services available to Kuwaiti nationals.
