Saʿūd bin ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Al Rashid (Arabic: سعود بن عبدالعزيز‎; 1898 - 1920) was the ninth Emir of Jabal Shammar. A boy of 10 when he was made emir, his maternal relatives of the Al Sabhan family ruled as regents on his behalf until he came of age, based on the constitution.

In 1920, he was assassinated by his cousin, Abdullah bin Talal (a brother of the 12th amir). Two of his widows remarried Ibn Saud: Norah bint Hammud Al Sabhan became his eighth wife, and Fahda bint Asi bin Shuraim Al Shammari of the Abda section of the Shammar tribe became his ninth wife and the mother of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
