Saeed bin Butti (Arabic: سعيد بن بطي) was the third Ruler of Dubai, succeeding Maktoum bin Butti bin Suhail on his death in 1852.[1] He was a signatory to the landmark treaty with the British, the Perpetual Maritime Truce of 1853.

The brother of Maktoum, who died of natural causes, Saeed inherited a small but thriving coastal community. Maktoum's own son, Hasher, was considered too young to rule.[1]
