Faisal bin Sultan al-Duwaish (Arabic: فيصل بن سلطان .الدويش المطيري c. 1882 – 1931) was Prince of the Mutair tribe[1] and one of Arabia's Ikhwan leaders,[2] who assisted Abdulaziz in the unification of Saudi Arabia. The mother of Faisal bin Sultan was from the Ajman tribe and the sister of Dhaydan bin Hithlain, another Ikhwan leader and sheikh of the Ajman tribe.[3]

Although he joined Ikhwan in 1912 when it was established, his embracement of the Wahhabi approach took place in 1918.[4] Al Duwaish commanded the attack on Kuwait Defense and Security Forces in Hamdh 16 May 1920. Later, in 1920, he led an attack by the Ikhwan on Kuwait.

He was injured at the 1929 battle of Sabilla, fled Arabia and later surrendered to the British in Kuwait. Sultan was pardoned by his former ruler Abdulaziz, but was later jailed in Riyadh where he died in 1931 suffering from an aneurysm.
