Shela (Hebrew: רבי שילא) was a Babylonian teacher of the latter part of the tannaitic and the beginning of the amoraic period, and head of the school ("sidra") at Nehardea.[1] When Rav visited Babylonia, he once officiated as an expounder (amora) for R. Shela at his public lectures.[2] The school at Nehardea was named in honor of Shela; and its scholars were accordingly known as "D'Bei R. Shela."

With the exception of a mishnaic interpretation,[3] none of Shela's teachings is known, although some of the sayings of the students of his academy, the Bei R. Shela, are mentioned in the Talmud.[4]
