Aibik (?-1257) أيبك was an Egyptian Mamluk general and ruler. He was mostly involved in the Mamluk revolt in Egypt in the year 1250.

Appointed as commander-in-chief by the council of Amirs in June 1250, Aibik immediately married the reigning Sultana, Shajar al-Durr, who was the widow of Sultan al-Salih, despite the election of the Syrian Ayyubid prince Musa to be co-sultan. Aibik retained effective control of the country, ruling vigorously but without finesse or diplomacy, as when he executed a commander who had suppressed a bedwin Arab revolt in middle Egypt on September 18, 1254. Many Mamluks fled to safety in Syria, but Aibik was finally murdered by his wife in a fit of jealous rage.
