Sayyid Jamshid bin Abdullah Al Said GCMG, (Arabic: جمشيد بن عبد الله‎‎) (born 16 September 1929 in Unguja) was the last Sultan of Zanzibar. He ruled Zanzibar from 1 July 1963 to 12 January 1964.

He fled into exile firstly to Oman and then finally to the United Kingdom, where, as of 2012, he continues to live in Portsmouth[1] as the Head of the Zanzibari Royal Family and as the Sovereign of the Order of the Brilliant Star of Zanzibar and the Most Illustrious Order of Independence of Zanzibar. Secondly, he is married to Zuleika bin Abdullah Al Aufy.[2]
