Bahiya Al Aradi (Arabic: بهیة العرادی) (? – 16 March 2011) was the first woman killed in the Bahraini Uprising. She has been called a shaheeda, or female martyr, by her family.

On March 16, the government allowed her brother to visit her for a few minutes in Bahrain Defense Force Hospital (Bahrain Royal Medical Services).

She died on hospital from injuries she received when she was hit in the back by birdshot pellets fired from a range of 50 to 75 meters. On March 20, the hospital announced that she had died of her injuries. At least one bullet had entered al-Aradi's head from behind. There was no exit wound.

Personal life

Al Aradi was never married.
