Jordan – Saudi Arabia relations are the relations between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Jordan and Saudi Arabia are both Sunni monarchies. Jordan, along with Morocco, the only other non-Gulf monarchy in the Arab World, has been invited to join the Gulf Cooperation Council, an organization of Gulf Monarchies.

Historically, the Jordanian monarchy (of the Hashemite dynasty) ruled over areas now integrated into Saudi Arabia. The Hashemites ruled Mecca from the 10th century until 1924, when the area was invaded by the House of Saud in the Saudi conquest of Hejaz. As a result, the Kingdom of Jordan was dwarfed by Saudi Arabia.

According to a 2013 Pew global opinion poll, 88% of Jordanians express a favourable view of Saudi Arabia, with 11% expressing an unfavourable view, the most favourable opinion of the KSA in the Middle East.
