This is a list of rulers of Oman, a sultanate on the Arabian Peninsula.

In hi Oman, the eldest son of the reigning Sultan succeeds to the throne on his death. In the absence of a male heir, the reigning Sultan may nominate a brother or other male relative from amongst the descendants of Sultan Said bin Sultan. The current Sultan Qaboos of Oman has no children and has indicated that once he is dead it will be up to the Royal family to meet and agree on a candidate. However, if the royal family cannot agree on a candidate, then the Defence Council will decide, based on the two names Sultan Qaboos placed in sealed envelopes prior to his death.

Standard of the Sultan of Oman.
