Raida Abdallah is a track and field athlete who has competed for Jordan. She competed at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. She was the youngest female athlete to participate for Jordan at 19 years old.
She was the first-ever woman to represent Jordan at the Olympic Games when she competed in the 3000 metres in Los Angeles 1984, which was also the inaugural edition of the event. She was one of only two Asian athletes in the event, the other being Gita Zutschi representing India, and was drawn in the first heat of the event against names such as the reigning world champion Mary Decker and two-time European indoor champion Agnese Possamai. In a fast heat, which featured a new Olympic record by Decker, Abdallah finished ninth with a time of 10:48.00 as the only athlete over 10 minutes, ranking 28th in the heats and unable to qualify for the final. Decker eventually fell in the final, with second-placed in the heat Lynn Williams clinching a bronze medal in the event.
