Princess Mishaal bint Fahd Al Saud (1958 15 July 1977; Arabic: الأميرة مشاعل بنت فهد بن محمد بن عبدالعزيز آل سعود) was a member of the House of Saud who was executed by shooting allegedly for committing adultery in 1977, at the age of 19. She was a daughter of Prince Fahd bin Muhammad and a granddaughter of Prince Muhammad bin Abdulaziz, a son of King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia and the older and only full brother of King Khalid. Much of the available information about the incident is derived from the 1980 docu-drama Death of a Princess, which presents a largely fictionalized and dramatized portrayal of the events.
