Scheherazade is a motor superyacht built by Lürssen Yachts of Germany. With a length of 140 m (460 ft), it is currently one of the longest motor yachts in the world.
While being built, it used the project name "Lightning". The exterior design was done by the designer Espen Oeino, and the interiors by the firm of Francois Zuretti. It entered service in June 2020. As of early May 2022 the yacht has been seized by Italian authorities due to its possible links to Russian President Putin and subject to sanctions relating to the Russo-Ukrainian War instigated by Putin in Ukraine.
