Shakhbut bin Dhiyab was the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi (1793–1816).[1]

Shakbut's father, Dhiyab bin Isa, had sent a hunting party from Liwa in 1761 which tracked a gazelle to a brackish spring on the island. Dhiyab ordered Shakbut to move to the island in 1793; he did, and built a village and fort there.[2] The fort, Qasr Al-Husn, became the palace of the sheikhs.[2] It housed the Centre for Documentation and Research for several years, and is now being developed into a museum.[3]

He was followed by his sons Mohammed bin Shakhbut (ruled 1816-1818) Tahnun bin Shakhbut (ruled 1818-1833) Khalifa bin Shakhbut Al Nahayan (ruled 1833-1845), but co-ruled throughout all their reigns.[1]
