Amsha Bashir was the wife of Richard Bashir and mother of Julian Bashir.

In 2348, Julian (or "Jules") was having problems in school, not learning as quickly as the other kids. She and her husband decided to go to Adigeon Prime to have their son genetically enhanced. He then quickly began catching up, and surpassing the other students.

In 2351, she and her family lived on Invernia II. (DS9: "Melora")

In 2373, Doctor Lewis Zimmerman was modeling the LMH after Doctor Bashir, he invited Amsha and Richard to Deep Space 9. Their first visit there, they were eager to meet Julian's friends and tell stories of his childhood.

Soon, they had to fill out questionnaires, and be interviewed for the personality program of the LMH. Afterwards, they accidentally told an LMH that O'Brien and Zimmerman were monitoring about the genetic enhancement, thinking it was the real Julian Bashir. Dr. Lewis Zimmerman then reported it to Starfleet Command, who threatened to discharge Julian from Starfleet. Richard and Amsha agreed to accept a compromise, that Richard would spend two years in a minimum security penal colony in New Zealand, and Starfleet allow Julian to remain in the service. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?")

Julian once seriously considered becoming a professional tennis player, but didn't believe his parents would approve. (DS9: "Distant Voices")

Amsha Bashir was played by actress Fadwa El Guindi.
