Adania Shibli (Arabic: عدنية شبلي) (born in Palestine in 1974) is a Palestinian author and essayist. She is mainly known for the 2020 translation of her novel Minor Detail into English by Elisabeth Jaquette as well as its 2022 translation into German by Günther Orth, which formed the subject of a public controversy in Germany following the cancellation of a literary prize for this book, originally scheduled for the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair.
