Saida Fikri (Arabic: سعيدة فكري; born 28 November 1971 in Casablanca) is a Moroccan singer and composer. Her songs are blend between Moroccan folk and Western rock music.[1][2]

She started singing with her brother Khalid Fikri and achieved notability in Morocco in the early 1990s with engaged songs. She is most remembered for songs such as Salouni al Adab (Ask me about pain). In 1998, she was banned in Morocco from public performance for the political tone of her songs.[3] The ban was only lifted in 2008.[3]
