Maslama ibn Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (Arabic: مسلمة بن هشام بن عبد الملك, romanized: Maslama ibn Hishām ibn ʿAbd al-Malik; died c. 750), also known by his kunya Abu Shakir, was an Umayyad prince and commander.

His capture of the southern caverns of Cappadocia and the fortress of Ancyra in 739 marked the last Umayyad military gains in the wars with Byzantium. Despite the abortive attempts by his father Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (r. 724–743) to install Maslama as his chosen successor in place of al-Walid ibn Yazid, Maslama became a close companion of al-Walid and defended him from his father's machinations. As a result, he was spared the fate of his brothers who were imprisoned upon al-Walid's accession in 743. Nothing is heard of Maslama afterward and he may have been killed in a massacre of the Umayyad family by the Abbasids following their takeover of the Caliphate in 750.
