Musa'id bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (1923 - ) is a son of Ibn Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia. He was also the father of Faisal bin Musa'id, who assassinated King Faisal in March of 1975.
Musa'id's mother was Jauhara bint Sa'd al-Sudairi, the widow of Ibn Saud's half-brother, Sa'd, whom Ibn Saud later married. Faisal bin Musa'id was borne of a marriage between Prince Musa'id and Watfa bint Muhammad bin Rashid, a daughter of the last Rashidi ruler. Another of Musa'id's sons, Khalid, was killed in 1965 during demonstrations against a newly introduced television station in Riyadh. Faisal bin Musa'id would blame and later assassinate his uncle, King Faisal, claiming revenge for this incident.
Prince Musa'id is reputed to be an eccentric and though, as the second oldest surviving son of Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, he remains a senior member of the Al Saud, it is generally accepted that he wields neither significant power in the Kingdom nor exercises great political influence within the family.
