Shukriyya Akhundzada (Azerbaijani: Şükriyyə Axundzadə; 1902 – October 1993), also known as Shukriyya Javad (Azerbaijani: Şükriyyə Cavad) was the wife of the Azerbaijani poet Ahmad Javad and a victim of the Stalinist repressions in Azerbaijan.

She was released in 1945 and acquitted in 1955 after being found innocent. Her life inspired several plays, books, and songs, as well as numerous theater performances.
