Marida bint Shabib (Template:Lang-ar) was the mother of eighth Abbasid caliph Al-Mu'tasim, who ruled Abbasid Caliphate from 833 to 842.

Muhammad, (the future al-Mu'tasim), was born in the Khuld ("Eternity") Palace in Baghdad, but the exact date is unclear: according to the historian al-Tabari (839–923), his birth was placed by authorities either in Sha'ban AH 180 (October 796 CE), or in AH 179 (Spring 796 CE or earlier). His parents were the fifth Abbasid caliph, Harun al-Rashid (r. 786–809), and Marida bint Shabib, a slave concubine. Otherwise unknown, Marida was born in Kufa in Iraq, but her family hailed from Soghdia, and she is usually considered to have been of Turkic origin.
