Abd al-Hafid of Morocco (Arabic: عبد الحفيظ بن الحسن العلوي) or Moulay Abdelhafid (24 February 1875[2][3] – 4 April 1937)[2][4] (Arabic: عبد الحفيظ) was the Sultan of Morocco from 1908 to 1912 and a member of the Alaouite Dynasty. His younger brother, Abdelaziz of Morocco, preceded him. While Mulai Abdelhafid initially opposed his brother for giving some concessions to foreign powers, he himself became increasingly backed by the French and finally signed the protectorate treaty giving de facto control of the country to France.
