Sultan bin Bajad bin Hameed Al Otaibi (Template:Lang-ar Sulṭan ibn Bajad ibn Ḥamīd Al ʿOtaibī; 1876 – 1932) was a member of the Otaibah tribe and one of the leaders of the Ikhwan movement in Saudi Arabia, the virtual army that supported King Abdulaziz to build his kingdom between 1910 and 1927.

Al Otaibi was illiterate and very religious, strongly believing in Salafi principles. After the occupation of Hijaz, King Abdulaziz and several of the Ikhwan leaders including Faisal Al Duwaish and Dhaydan bin Hithlain went into bloody clashes, as Abdulaziz wanted to stop incursions outside of Arabia and concentrate on building the foundations of a modern state. Al Otaibi and his associates considered this a sin and challenged the agreements, made by the King with the British and neighboring powers.[1] Al Otaibi entered into an open rebellion against the Al Saud forces and joined in the Battle of Sabilla.[2] He was captured by the Al Saud forces and put in prison where he died in 1932.[2]

One of his daughters married Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman, half-brother of King Abdulaziz.[3]

His grandson, Juhayman al-Otaybi, led the seizure of the Masjid al-Haram by extremists seeking to overthrow the House of Saud, resulting in his capture and execution.
