Shlama beth Qidra (Šlama, daughter of Qidra, Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡋࡀࡌࡀ ࡐࡕ ࡒࡉࡃࡓࡀ, romanized: Šlama pt Qidra) was a female Mandaean priest and scribe who was active around 200 AD. Her name is found in the colophons of Left Ginza manuscripts, which do not bear the name of Zazai of Gawazta.^[1]

Shlama beth Qidra is the earliest Mandaean scribe named in Mandaean colophons, predating Zazai of Gawazta (fl. 270 AD) by a few generations.^[2]^: 4
