Atika bint Shuhda was an 8th-century Arabian Qiyan musician, composer, singer and poet. She was born in Medina, but settled in Basra. She was the daughter of Shuhda, a female professional singer and mourner from Mecca who was herself a slave-singer for the Umayyad caliph al-Walid II ibn Yazid. Atika was particularly noted for her ability as a lute-player, and was described by Ishaq al-Mawsili as the most skilled oud player he had ever heard. She is also known to setting lyrics by Umar ibn Abi Ra
