Shamspir (ur|{{Nastaliq|شمس پیر) is an island village near Karachi, Pakistan, along the western end of Karachi Harbour, close to Sandspit Beach and Kakapir. It is administered as part of the Keamari District. Approximately 5,000 people now live on the island.[1] The village is bordered by thick Mangrove forests which grow in the harbour.[2]
Shamspir is named for the shrine of a saint, named Hazrat Sham Pir, located on the island. Shamspir is an old village which, like the nearby Baba and Bhit Islands, predates the formal establishment of Karachi.[3] Residents from Baba and Bhit islands helped settle Shamspir.[4] During the British era, some residents of Mithadar and Kharadar were settled in Shamspir during construction of the Port of Karachi.[5] Some of those residents moved further west and established the fishing village of Kakapir.[6]
