Shu'ayb ibn Ahmad
Shu'ayb ibn Ahmad ({{langx|ar|شعيب بن أحمد}}) was the eighth Emir of Crete, reigning from {{circa|940–943}}.
The surviving records on the internal history and rulers of the Emirate of Crete are very fragmentary. He is tentatively identified as a son of the seventh emir, Ahmad ibn Umar, and as the great-great-grandson of the conqueror of Crete and founder of the emirate, Abu Hafs Umar. He is believed to have reigned from {{circa|940}} to {{circa|943}}, succeeding his father, and being succeeded by his brother, Ali.{{sfn|Miles|1964|pp=11–15}}{{sfn|Canard|1971|p=1085}}
