The Crown Prince of Jordan is the heir apparent or heir presumptive to the throne of Jordan.

The Article 28(B) of the Constitution of Jordan provides for agnatic primogeniture, meaning that the eldest son of the King automatically succeeds to the crown upon the monarch's death, unless the King has designated one of his brothers to inherit the throne as Crown Prince.[1]
