The order of succession to the Saudi Arabian throne is determined by, and within, the House of Saud.Every King of Saudi Arabia, upon his death, has been succeeded by the crown prince, with a new crown prince then being appointed according to a loose form of agnatic seniority among the sons of Ibn Saud, though various members of the family have been bypassed for various reasons.
The king of Saudi Arabia is also considered the head of the House of Saud and, until 2021, the prime minister. The crown prince was also the "deputy prime minister" until 2021 and is currently prime minister. The kings after Faisal have named a "second deputy prime minister" as the subsequent heir after the crown prince.
