Sa'ad bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud (1888–1915) was the only full brother of Abdulaziz, founder of the modern state of Saudi Arabia. He was one of Abdulaziz's most devoted supporters and a key lieutenant in the early military campaigns. He was called Sa'ad the First, because his stepmother had a son named Sa'ad II later years.
