Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Abdullah bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani (خليفة بن حمد آل ثاني; 17 September 1932 – 23 October 2016) was the Emir of Qatar from 27 February 1972 until he was deposed by his son Hamad bin Khalifa in a coup on 27 June 1995.
Sheikh Khalifa was born in Doha in 1932.
He was the son of Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani and grandson of Emir Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani.
In 1957, Khalifa was appointed Minister of Education.

He was named as the heir apparent on 24 October 1960.
In the 1960s, he also served as Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
On 22 February 1972, Sheikh Khalifa became the Emir of Qatar, seizing power from his cousin, Emir Ahmad bin Ali Al Thani in a bloodless coup d'état.
While many Western news outlets referred to it as an overthrow, the Qatari population merely considered it to be a succession of power.
His initial activity was the process of the reorganization of the government.
He also limited the financial privileges of members of the ruling family.
Next, he appointed a foreign minister and an adviser to himself regarding the day-to-day affairs.
On 19 April 1972, he amended the Constitution and expanded the Cabinet by appointing more ministers.

On 18 July 1989, the cabinet was reshuffled for the first time, replacing most of the previous ministers and making it consist of 15 ministers.
In January 1989, another production sharing agreement was signed between Qatar and the French state-owned oil company Elf Aquitaine.
In the middle of 1991, production of gas in the Qatar North Field, the world's largest single field of non-associated gas (proven gas reserves of around 250 trillion cubic feet and probable reserves of 500 trillion cubic feet), commenced.
While the search for finding more oil deposits in Qatar continued, Qatar built an industrial base in order to reduce dependence on the oil sector.
The Cabinet was again reshuffled under his premiership on 1 September 1992, expanding it to 17 members.
The state revenue from the oil sector had increased as the result of the rising of a number of production sharing agreements with foreign oil companies.
While Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani was staying in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 1995, his son Hamad bin Khalifa seized power in another bloodless coup d'état.
The son accused his father of treason and demanded that Interpol arrest him.
