Ali Yusuf Kenadid (Somali: Cali Yuusuf Keenadiid, Arabic: علي يوسف كينيديد; died 1927) was a Somali Sultan and the second ruler of the Sultanate of Hobyo.

Ali Yusuf was born into a Majeerteen Darod family.

The polity was established in the 1870s on territory carved out of the ruling Majeerteen Sultanate (Migiurtinia).

[4] The terms of the agreement specified that Italy was to steer clear of any interference in the sultanate's administration.

[5] However, the relationship between Hobyo and Italy soured when the elder Kenadid refused the Italians' proposal to allow a British contingent of troops to disembark in his Sultanate so that they might then pursue their battle against the Dhulbahante garad and Darawiish monarch Diiriye Guure and his emir, Mohammed Abdullah Hassan's Dervish forces.
