Sheikha Shamsa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Arabic: شمسة بنت محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم, Shamsa bint Muḥammad bin Rāshid Āl Maktūm; born 15 August 1981) is an Emirati princess and a member of the Dubai ruling family. Her father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, and her mother, Huriah Ahmed al M'aash, is from Algeria. She is the full sister of Sheikha Maitha (born 1980), Sheikha Latifa (born 1985) and Sheikh Majid (born 1987).

In July 2000, whilst on holiday in the United Kingdom, she fled her family and stayed with friends in London. In August 2000, she was abducted by men working for her father off the street in Cambridge, and taken back to Dubai on a private jet. In 2020, a UK Family Court found that her father orchestrated her abduction.
