Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi (18th century – 1866) was the ruler (1803–1840, 1840–1866) of the emirates of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah on the Trucial Coast (currently known as the United Arab Emirates). He was known as one of the most famous and powerful rulers of the Al Qasimi family in the UAE. He was known for his objection to British interference in the issues of the coast and his attacks against British ships. The United Kingdom, in his time, attacked the coast and Ras Al Khaimah's fleet twice, in 1809 and in 1819. In the end, he agreed to sign the second treaty with the UK, the General Maritime Treaty of 1820.
