Shabir Ahmad Shah (born 14 June 1953), popularly known as Shabir Shah, is a Kashmiri separatist political leader and the founder and president of the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP), a separatist political organisation that advocates self-determination for Jammu and Kashmir.

Shah has spent several years in prison or under detention in connection with separatist activities. In June 2019 he was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a terror-funding case. In March 2026, the Supreme Court of India granted him bail, citing prolonged delay in the trial proceedings.
