Salima Mourad or Salima Murad (Arabic: سليمة مراد; ‎2 February 1900[1] – 28 January 1974) was an Iraqi Jewish singer who was well-known and highly respected in the Arab world.[2][3] She was given the nickname "Pasha" by the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Said.

Salima was dubbed by Umm Kulthum as the most famous woman singer, since the early 1930s. She was also the wife of a very successful Iraqi singer and actor, Nazem Al-Ghazali. Even after the bulk of Iraqi Jews left Iraq, Salima continued to live there until her death in 1974.
