Şakirpaşa is a neighbourhood (mahalle) in the Seyhan district of Adana Province, Turkey. It has about 11,100 residents (2022) and is located about 3 km west of Adana’s city centre.

The area lies south of the D400 highway and beside Şakirpaşa Airport. It is governed by a muhtar (local leader) and a seniors council.

Most residents are Kurdish and work in nearby factories and shops, often in low-paid jobs.

The ABB Şakirpaşa handball club, which reached the Turkish Women's Handball Super League in 2016, plays at Yüreğir Serinevler Arena.

Şakirpaşa Airport is within the neighbourhood, about 2 km from homes. The Şakirpaşa Railway Station is about 400 meters north of the neighbourhood, in Sakarya mahalle, just north of the D400 road. The station serves two regional lines and one long-distance line.

Public transport includes buses from downtown Adana run by the Adana Metropolitan Municipality Bus Department (ABBO). The Şakirpaşa Minibus Co-operative also operates local routes from downtown.
