Hamid Ekrem Šahinović (1879/1882 – 30 December 1936) was a Bosnian writer and dramatist. He was editor of Muslimanska svijest (English: Muslim Consciousness), a Bosnian-language newspaper supporting the Young Turks political reform movement,[1] and Novi Behar, the 1920s revival of the Bosnian Muslim political magazine Behar.[2]

Šahinović was born in either 1879 or 1882 in the hamlet Hum near Foča, Bosnia and Herzegovina, during Ottoman rule over the country.[3] He completed gymnasium in Sarajevo, then pursued a high education in Zagreb and Vienna.[4] Although Šahinović died 30 December 1936, his year of death is sometimes mistakenly given as 1939.[5]
