The Emirate of Ajman is one of the seven emirates (states) of the United Arab Emirates.

Located on the coast of the Persian Gulf, Ajman also controls two small inland exclaves: Manama and Masfout, both of which are primarily agricultural. Approximately 95% of the population of the emirate resides in the city of Ajman, which forms part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Ajman is ruled by Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi III of the Na’im tribe. The Crown Prince of the Emirate is Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi.
