Abdus Shakur (Arabic: عبد الشکور ‎‎) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words Abd, al- and Shakur. The name means "servant of the All-thankful", Ash-Shakūr being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.

Because the Arabic letter corresponding to sh is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Shakur, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ash-Shakur. Alternative transliterations include Abdul Shakoor and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.

It may refer to:

  • `Abd al-Shakur ibn Yusuf, Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1782
  • Muhammad ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur, Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1875
  • 'Abd Allah II ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur (died 1930), Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1887
