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