Shahrazād (in persiano شهرزاد, altrimenti scritta Sherazade, Sheherazade, Scheherazade, Shahrazada o Shahrzad, in italiano anche Sciarazade – pronuncia persiana [ʃahrˈzɑːd]) è una fanciulla protagonista della silloge favolistica d'ambiente islamico nota come Le mille e una notte. La raccolta favolistica non ha una sola origine, convivendo al suo interno elementi arabi, egiziani, persiani e persino indiani, anche se si ricorda l'indubbio debito contratto con l'opera persiana intitolata (هزارافسانه, che significa "I mille racconti").
