Usama Alshaibi (Arabic: أسامة الشيبي) (born in Baghdad, Iraq on November 20, 1969) is an Iraqi-American independent filmmaker and visual artist.

[1] Alshaibi's mother was born in Jaffa, Palestine and met his Iraqi father in Baghdad.

He was a child during the Iran-Iraq War and has stated that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the nightly bombings when his family lived in Basra, Iraq.

In early 2004, nine months after the United States invasion of Iraq, Alshaibi traveled back to Baghdad with his father to shoot his first documentary film, titled Nice Bombs.

Usama Alshaibi is interviewed in fellow Chicagoan Studs Terkel's book Hope Dies Last.
