Fadhli (Arabic: فضلي Faḍlī), or the Fadhli Sultanate (Arabic: السلطنة الفضلية Salṭanat al-Faḍlī), was an independent sultanate on the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula from the 17th century until 1967.[2]

British sources described the Fadhli as "one of the most powerful and warlike tribes near Aden".[1]
