Turki I bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Arabic: تركي الأول بن عبد العزيز آل سعود Turkī al ʾAwwal bin ʿAbdulʿazīz Āl Suʿūd; 1896–1919) was the eldest son of the Emir of Nejd (later King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia) and his second wife, Wadha bint Muhammad Al Orair. He was his father's heir apparent from 1902 to 1919. Turki accompanied his father during the conquest of the Arabian Peninsula at a young age and witnessed battles in Kuwait and Al Hasa. He died in the 1918–19 flu pandemic, which also killed many others in the region. His younger brother Saud replaced him as heir apparent.
