Dalia Nausheen (1954 or 1955 – 1 April 2026) was a Bangladeshi Nazrul Sangeet singer. She was one of the artists who participated in the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.[1] In recognition of her contribution to music, the government of Bangladesh awarded her the country's second highest civilian award Ekushey Padak in 2020.[2]

Nausheen started practising North Indian Classical music and Nazrul Sangeet at the age of five.[3] Her father Muzharul Islam, a noted architect in South Asia, also inspired her to the music.[4] Sudhin Das was her first teacher. She completed her five-year music course in 1973 from Chhayanaut where she was taught by Sohrab Hossain, Sheikh Luthfur Rahman and Ustad Ful Muhammed.[3] Later, she joined the same institution as a teacher.[3]

Nausheen died of cancer in Dhaka, on 1 April 2026, at the age of 71.[5]
