The Sharifian Caliphate (Arabic: الخلافة الشريفية, romanized: al-Khilāfat al-Sharīfiyya) was a caliphate proclaimed by the Sharifian leaders of the Hejaz in 1924, replacing the Ottoman Caliphate, which was abolished by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Even though the Banu Hashim held the caliphate at various points in history, Hussein bin Ali, the Sharif of Mecca, was the first and only caliph of the modern Sharifian (Hashemite) line.
