Shukriya Khanum (Urdu شکریہ خانم) (c.1935 – 14 May 2017, Lahore) was a Pakistani pilot. She was Pakistan's first woman to obtain a commercial pilot license on 12 July 1959. When Shukriya Khanum joined the country's sole airline, Pakistan International Airlines, female pilots were not permitted to fly commercial planes. Therefore, she accepted the position of flight instructor at PIA's training center, where she taught young cadets. She also took flying enthusiasts on joyrides at the Karachi Flying Club.
