Esra'a Al Shafei (إسراء الشافعي ’Asrā’ ash-Shāfa’ī; born 23 July 1986) is a Bahraini civil rights activist, blogger, and the founder and executive director of Majal (Mideast Youth) and its related projects, including CrowdVoice.org.
Al Shafei is a senior TED Fellow, an Echoing Green fellow, and has been referred to by CNN reporter George Webster as "An outspoken defender of free speech".
She has been featured in Fast Company magazine as one of the "100 Most Creative People in Business."
In 2006, she started blogging with WordPress.

Her sites can push information out to the masses that is not found in mainstream outlets.
Al Shafei has blogged for CNN and the Huffington Post.
Esra’a doesn't show her face online — using an illustration when engaging in video conferences and for bylines — because she has been threatened with violence in the past and, as an activist in a non-free authoritarian regime, it would put her and her family at risk if she were recognisable.
Al Shafei is a recipient of the Berkman Award for Internet Innovation from Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School in 2008 for "outstanding contributions to the internet and its impact on society."
In 2011, The Daily Beast listed Al Shafei as one of the 17 bravest bloggers worldwide.
She is also a promoter of music as a means of social change, and founded Mideast Tunes, which is currently the largest platform for underground musicians in the Middle East and North Africa.

In 2014, she was featured in Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list of social entrepreneurs making an impact in the world.
The World Economic Forum listed her as one of "15 Women Changing the World in 2015."
That same year, she won the "Most Courageous Media" Prize from Free Press Unlimited.
Al Shafei was selected as a 2017 Director's Fellow at the MIT Media Lab.
Al Shafei was a keynote speaker at Wikimania 2017.
In December of the same year, she was appointed to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
In January 2023, she was appointed to the board of The Tor Project.
Esra'a Al Shafei, according to her own account, recalls witnessing inhumane treatment of migrant workers as a child.
This, along with stereotypical media portrayals of middle eastern youth, prompted her to found the Mideast Youth network.
Over time, the network expanded to include other civil rights issues within the Middle East, and branched out to create a diverse range of platforms with a global reach.
In 2018 she was listed as one of BBC's 100 Women.
