Mahin Neektabb known as Mahin Shahabi (1936 - 2010) was a famous Iranian actress.

Shahabi was born in a military family. While her father was a military man, her husbond was writer, poet and composer.

After getting married she joined the Oskouie Theatre Gruppe, and appeared in a number of plays at the Dramatic Arts Office and then was employed by the Ministry of Art and Culture.

She began working for the radio in 1958. She enrolled in Anahita Academy’s acting classes in 1960 and began television and film acting the same year. At the same time she was dedicated to playing in Sangalaj theater. 

At age 24 she played for the first time in Mirsamadzadeh's "Event in the Forest" (Majeraye jangal, 1960), but her popularity as an actress came first with playing in "Mirror" (1985), a TV series by Golamhossein Lotfi. 

She has appeared in films such as “Cow” and “Tuberose”. She was nominated for a Fajr International Film Festival Crystal Symorgh for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “Two Halves of an Apple”.

She passed away due to complications caused by a brain tumor at the age of 89.

She has said:

"those women who works as artists should be aware both of having their own lives, and preserving their artistic activities. But they should not only be dedicated to their artistic endeavors but also to things in their life that is equally holy as well, like being mothers to their children and wives to their husbonds."
