Sheikha Hassa bint Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (Arabic: الشيخة حـصـة بـنت محمـد بن خليفة آل نهيـان‎) (died 28 January 2018[1]) was the first wife of the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, the late Emir (ruler) of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

She was the mother of the current president of UAE and emir of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa II (born 1948). Her father was Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, who was a first cousin of her husband and a senior figure of the House of Al Nahyan, until his death in 1979. Her mother was Sheikha Hassa bint Saqr Al Nahyan, who was also another first cousin of Sheikh Zayed himself. Therefore, Sheikha Hassa bint Mohammed and her husband Sheikh Zayed were double first cousins once removed.
