Seda Dudurkaeva (born 24 April 1993) is a Chechen woman and Russian citizen arrested in Turkey as an alleged terrorist. She is the widow of prominent Georgian-Chechen Islamic State commander, Abu Omar al-Shishani. She is also daughter of the prominent former head of the migration service for Chechnya, Asu Dudurkayev.

Her immigration to Syria to marry Al-Shishani and her later arrest in Turkey drew widespread press attention. The resulting scandal resulted in her father's removal from his post.[1]
