Şevkefza Kadın (c. 1825 – 17 September 1889; meaning "who cheers up"; Ottoman Turkish: شوق افزا قادین‎) was the consort of Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire. She held the position of Valide Sultan from 30 May 1876 to 31 August 1876, when her son Şehzade Murad ascended the throne as Murad V. She was of Circassian origin.

Şevkefza Kadın was born in Poti, Russian Empire (present-day Georgia). Her father was Çerkes Mehmed Bey Zaurum and her mother was Cemile Hanım, an Ubykh. She had an elder sister, Fatma Laleru Hanım. Her family emigrated from the Caucasus to Istanbul, where she was delivered to the court of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II.

Nurtab Kadın, wife of Sultan Mahmud II, took Şevkefza into her care. She was renamed and was given a thoroughly Turkish and Muslim education in the harem department of the Topkapı Palace. When she entered her fourteenth year, she was noticed by Abdülmecid I and he married her in 1839, at the palace. On 21 September 1840 Şevkefza gave birth to Şehzade Mehmed Murad, and in 1842 she gave birth her daughter Aliye Sultan, but died 1845 as infant. When Bezmiâlem Sultan died in 1853, Şevkefza took courage of Abdülmecid's first wife, the childless Servetseza Kadın's affection for heir Murad and Abdülmecid's wish to see his son as the next Sultan, and rose in opposition to Pertevniyal Sultan and her son Prince Şehzade Abdülaziz.
