Khalid bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Arabic: خالد بن سعود بن عبد العزيز آل سعود; 1811–1865) ruled the Second Saudi State, known as the Emirate of Najd, for three years, from 1838 to 1841. His reign was part of plans by Muhammad Ali Pasha, ruler of Egypt, to dominate Arabia following his capture of Syria in 1831. Khalid was the great-grandson of Muhammad bin Saud, founder of the Al Saud dynasty, and second cousin of Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah, another ruler of the Second Saudi State.
