Shibu Soren (hi; 11 January 1944 – 4 August 2025) was an Indian politician. He was a member of the Rajya Sabha, representing Jharkhand, and the leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). He was the 3rd Chief Minister of Jharkhand in 2005 and then from 2008 to 2009, and again from 2009 to 2010. Soren was a member of the Lok Sabha from Dumka from 1980 to 1984, 1989 to 1998, and 2002 to 2019. He also was the Minister for Coal in the Union Cabinet three times: in 2004, from 2004 to 2005, and in 2006.

He was convicted by a Delhi district court for killing his private secretary, Shashi Nath Jha.[2] The Delhi High Court on 23 August 2007 overruled the District Court and acquitted Soren due to lack of evidence.[3]

Soren died on 4 August 2025 at a hospital in New Delhi, India at the age of 81.[4][5]
