Maflahi, Muflahi (Arabic: مفلحيMuflaḥī), or the Muflahi Sheikhdom (Arabic: مشيخة المفلحيMashyakhat al-Muflaḥī), was a state in the British Aden Protectorate. It was originally one of the five sheikhdoms of Upper Yafa but joined the Federation of South Arabia and its successor, the Federation of South Arabia, as a separate state. Its last sheikh, Kassim Abdulrahaman, was deposed in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and the area is now part of the Republic of Yemen.

Although most of the Al Maflahi family members still reside in Yemen, some members of the family migrated north of the Arabian peninsula in the early 1960s by settling into countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
