Maktoum bin Buti (Arabic مكتوم بن بطي) was the founder and first ruler of the Dubai sheikdom.

He settled with 800 tribal members on the Shindagha Peninsula at the mouth of the Creek, declaring the town's (Town of Dubai) independence from Abu Dhabi.^[1]

He left Abu Dhabi with 800 tribal members of the Al Bu Falasah, a branch of the Bani Yas tribe, to settle in Dubai. Dubai was at this time, as most of the settlements, a small town. He founded on 9 June 1833 Dubai, which until then belonged to Abu Dhabi. At the beginning of his tenure, he was very young, from historical records, however, it is evident that he was brave and skilfull, all political and economic hurdles during the formation of the new sheikdom mastered confidently. Under his rule ended with the British in 1835 and 1853, the "Treaty of Perpetual Peace by sea" and the prohibition of the slave trade. So the coast was named Trucial Coast (ceasefire coast) and became the Protectorate of Great Britain. He urged back the prevailing piracy, thus ensuring a flourishing maritime trade. The pearl trade was under his rule the main source of income of Dubai.^[2]

He counted until his death in 1852, the most respected and influential people in the ceasefire coast of the Persian Gulf. His successor as ruler of Dubai was his brother Sheikh Said bin Buti.

Preceded by Obaid bin Saeed	Emir of Dubai 1833–1852	Succeeded by Saeed bin Butti
