Tunku Dato' Seri Utama Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar (born 8 March 1947) is a member of Negeri Sembilan royal family who is the Tunku Laxamana. He is the eldest son of Tuanku Jaafar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, who was also the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia). He served as the Regent of Negeri Sembilan from 1994 until 1999 when his father was elected as the King of Malaysia.
Suave, charming and debonair, Tunku Naquiyuddin had been for years one of Malaysia's most well-known member of royalty, and was widely expected to succeed his father as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. However he was bypassed as Ruler in favour of his cousin, Tunku Muhriz, upon the death of his father.
