Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ( ; born 25 January 1948; referred to as Sheikh Khalifa) is the current President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and emir of Abu Dhabi. He succeeded to both posts on 3 November 2004, replacing his father Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who had died the day before.

He is the current chairman of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD).
