Marina Aidaeva (Chechen: Марина Айдаева) (born in Grozny, Chechnya) is a popular Chechen torch singer.

Marina was born in Grozny, the Chechen capital, but at a young age she moved with her family to Aqtau, Kazakhstan, a seaport on the Caspian Sea, and spent her childhood there. (As a result of the forced deportations of the Chechens and Ingush to Central Asia on February 23, 1944, there has been a large Chechen population living in Kazakhstan.) Her father, Lom-Ali Aidaev, was a well-known singer and composer in Chechnya.
