Abdullah bin Suleiman Al Hamdan (Arabic: عبد الله بن سليمان الحمدان, 1887–1965), commonly known as Abdullah Suleiman and also by his nickname Wazīr Kullī Shaīʾ (the minister of everything), was the treasurer and long-term as well as first finance minister of Saudi Arabia (1932–1955). He was named "the minister of everything" due to his involvement in nearly all state affairs which included agriculture, transportation and mining resources among the others. During the reign of King Abdulaziz he was the most significant non-royal official.
