羅克塞拉娜（Roxelana，1502年—1558年4月15日），土耳其語稱許蕾姆（Hürrem，意為「高興者」），阿拉伯語稱卡里瑪（كريمة，意為「尊貴者」），鄂圖曼帝國蘇丹蘇里曼一世的蘇丹皇后。

羅克塞拉娜原名已不可考，但在19世紀烏克蘭民間傳說中，她被稱為「安娜斯塔西婭」，波蘭傳說則稱其為「亞歷山德拉·利索斯卡」，在其他歐洲語言中通稱其為柔克塞拉娜，意為「來自羅塞尼亞的女郎」[2]。
柔克塞拉娜出身於一個羅加京（當時屬於波蘭）附近的一個烏克蘭東正教家庭。在一次克里米亞汗國對當地的劫掠中被掠為奴，並被售往伊斯坦堡，因為頗有幾分姿色，她被挑選進入蘇丹的後宮。很快她就獲得了蘇里曼一世的寵愛。在一次後宮的爭寵過程中，柔克塞拉娜被蘇丹寵妃居爾巴哈爾蘇丹毆打，盛怒之下的蘇里曼一世立即將居爾巴哈爾蘇丹，連同她的愛子梅斯達菲皇子（當時的王儲）一同流放，後又將梅斯達菲處死。
柔克塞拉娜為蘇里曼生了6個孩子，其後更是令人吃驚地成為他的正室。在其影響下，終其一生鄂圖曼帝國和其祖國波蘭都保持了和平。蘇里曼一世逝世後，柔克塞拉娜的兒子塞利姆二世繼承了蘇丹寶座。
柔克塞拉娜在伊斯坦堡、耶路撒冷和麥加等地修建了大量的公共建築，著名的有許蕾姆蘇丹公共浴場等。
柔克塞拉娜傳奇的一生成為許多藝術作品的題材，其中有名的有約瑟夫·海頓的63號交響曲等；在近世將近200年的時間裏，她是成為烏克蘭和土耳其許多小說和電視劇的女主角，不過她的一生和成就相對其原生存時代來說僅屬於例外[3]。
