Sultan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (born 1955) is an Emirati politician and member of the Al Nahyan, ruling family of the Abu Dhabi emirate.

Sheikh Sultan is the second son of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder of UAE. He was born in 1955. He was educated at Millfield School and is a graduate of Sandhurst military academy. His 3/4 sibling Sheikh Khalifa, is the current emir and the president, while his other half-brother Sheikh Mohammed is the current crown prince of Abu Dhabi.

In 1990, Sheikh Sultan was appointed as deputy prime minister, while the prime ministers traditionally are the emir (ruler) of Dubai. From 1997 to 2009 he served with another younger half-brother Sheikh Hamdan as deputy prime minister. In 2009, he was replaced by his half-brother Sheikh Saif and Sheikh Mansour in the post.

Sheikh Sultan is the president's representative, chairman of the media and cultural centre, chairman of the Emirates Heritage Club and chairman of Zayed center for coordination and follow-up, a member of Supreme Petroleum Council, and a member of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

In August 2002, Sheikh Sultan, as the Chairman of the Zayed Center, promoted a Holocaust denial symposium in Abu Dhabi. The government of the United Arab Emirates closed down the Zayed Center as a result.
