Shaikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi (* 1949) is the present ruler of the Emirate of Fujairah, having taken over after the death of his father Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi in 1974. The Sharqi family has an extremely warm relationship with the Abu Dhabi ruling Nahyan family. This allows them access to Federal funds and ministerial posts, exceeding allocations of similar small Emirates. Educated in Britain, Shaikh Hamad is a progressive ruler, and his reformist leanings have held him in good stead with businessmen and expatriates alike.

He attended the Mons Military Academy in 1970 and from 1971-74 served as Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries.
