Dathina (Arabic: دثينة‎ [Dathīnah]), the Dathina Sheikhdom (Arabic: مشيخة دثينة [Mashyakhat Dathīnah]), or sometimes the Dathina Confederation, was a state in the British Aden Protectorate, the Federation of Arab Emirates of the South, and its successor, the Federation of South Arabia. It was abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and is now part of the Republic of Yemen.
