Fahd bin Abdullah Al Saud is the former deputy defense minister and a member of the House of Saud.

Prince Fahd is the son of Abdullah bin Mohammad and Noura bint Saud (died late July 2013), King Saud's daughter. His father was the older maternal half brother of the Sudairi Seven (only son of Hassa bint Ahmed Al Sudairi through her marriage to Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman, elder half-brother of King Abdulaziz). Prince Fahd has four brothers and two sisters.

He is a graduate of the US Naval Staff and Command College. He holds a master’s degree in military sciences. He also attended advanced naval programs in the US, the UK and Pakistan. In addition, he participated in programs on command and staff at the Military College in the US.

Fahd bin Abdullah was a military officer. He had business activities while serving in these posts. He became the commander of the marine forces in Royal Saudi Navy in April 2002. He also served at the ships of King Abdul Aziz and the floating units of the marine base. In addition, he assumed the following posts: the chief of the operations authority of the Naval Forces, director at the office of the minister of defense, aviation and inspector general and then deputy commander of the naval forces. He retired from navy at the rank of lieutenant general.

On 20 April 2013, he was appointed deputy defense minister at the rank of minister, replacing Khalid bin Sultan in the post. However, Prince Fahd's tenure was very brief and on 7 August 2013 he was replaced by Salman bin Sultan, son of late Prince Sultan.
