Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Arabic: عبد العزيز بن سعود بن نايف بن عبد العزيز آل سعود; born November 4, 1983) is the Minister of Interior of Saudi Arabia since 21 June 2017. Prince Saud is a graduate of the Dhahran Ahliyyah School and King Saud University.[1] After King Salman came to power, Abdulaziz was appointed as an adviser to the Royal Court in various departments and later served as an adviser in the Defense Ministry.[2]

He is the eldest son of Prince Saud bin Nayef (former Head of the Saudi Crown Prince Court) who is the eldest son of the former Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz. This makes him a grandnephew to King Salman, his paternal grandfather’s full brother, and all other monarchs of Saudi Arabia after Abdulaziz, his great-grandfather.
