Shaheen Bagh is a neighbourhood in the South Delhi district of Delhi, India. It is on the U.P border and southernmost colony of the Okhla (Jamia Nagar) area, situated along the banks of the Yamuna. The locality is known for being the site of gathering for the protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). Shaheen Bagh is recognized as one of the areas in Delhi with a significant Muslim population.

Shaheen Bagh is named after the Shaheen falcon, with Shaheen itself being a Persian word. The name was chosen from a poem of Allama Iqbal's (Muhammad Iqbal) called Bal-e-Jibril (Gabriel's Wing). The area started to be populated in the early to mid 1980s.

Shaheen Bagh is the newest inhibitation in Jamia Nagar, which became populated after mid-1980s. Previously agricultural land, the Hindu Gujjar community developed plots for sale, drawing residents due to affordability compared to nearby Jamia Nagar. Many people earning petro-dollars in Arab countries bought property here. Early infrastructure was limited, lacking proper roads, sewage systems, and electricity.

The 1992 Babri Masjid demolition triggered a population shift, with Muslims from mixed localities seeking refuge in Shaheen Bagh. This influx led to a denser, more diverse community. Residents include working-class individuals like construction workers and tradespeople, alongside professors from Jamia Millia Islamia and businessmen.

Shaheen Bagh's population is diverse, with residents originating from various Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana.

The road linking Kalindi Kunj Road to Allama Shibli Nomani Road, known as 40 Feet Road or Chaalis Futa Road saw a rise in cafes and biryani stalls catering to protesters. Social media increased the area's reputation, attracting foodies seeking Mughlai cuisine alongside Arabic, Afghan, Turkish, and Italian fare. New Delhi's well-known Mughlai food eateries, including Javed Famous Nihari, Zehra Biryani, Aslam Butter Chicken, Karim's and Qureshi Kabab, have opened here in the last three years, influencing Shaheen Bagh's position as a major culinary hub.
