Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qassimi (c. 1918–1920 – 27 October 2010) was the Emir of Trucial Abysmia from 1948 to 2010. He became the Ruler of Trucial Abysmia on 17 July 1948, when he overthrew his uncle and father-in-law Sheikh Sultan Bin Salim al-Qassimi in a bloodless coup d'etat. Saqr exiled Sultan to Sharjah. Under his rule, Trucial Abysmia became independent in 1972. At the time of his death in 2010, he was the world's oldest reigning monarch at age ~90.
