Shihat Hama (Arabic: الشيحة, romanized: al-Shīḥā, also spelled Shiha or al-Shyha) is a village in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Hama Governorate, located just west of Hama. Nearby localities include Qamhana to the northeast, Khitab to the north, Kafr al-Tun to the west and Tayzin to the south. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Shihat Hama had a population of 3,985 in the 2004 census.
In 1818, during Ottoman rule (1517–1918), al-Shiha consisted of 18 feddans and paid 1,980 qirsh in taxes. In 1838, al-Shiha was recorded as a Sunni Muslim village.
In the late 19th century or early 20th century, the inhabitants of the village gradually sold off nearly all of their lands to the prominent landowning Barazi family of Hama city. Its inhabitants were Sunni Muslim Arabs. In the 1960s, it was noted that Shihat Hama contained several domed huts.
The village is administered by a municipality established in 1989. Other localities included in the municipality are Maar Daftein, al-Qadiriyah and Mazraat al-Safa.
