The House of Temenggong (), or the Temenggong dynasty, is the current ruling dynasty of Johor, Malaysia.
The transition of power in 19th-century Johor was defined by the decline of the old sultanate and the rise of the House of Temenggong. Sultan Ali, who ruled from 1835 to 1855, inherited a purely symbolic authority from his father, Sultan Hussein. While the British de jure recognised their titles for diplomatic uses, neither exercised true administrative control. Instead, the political and economic landscape was increasingly dominated by Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim and the British colonial authorities. This partnership sought to establish indirect rule within the Malay Peninsula as part of British Malaya.
Despite its non-royal origins, the House of Temenggong successfully usurped power by marginalising the established dynasty through British cooperation and economic leverage. Daeng Ibrahim strengthened his position by controlling vital trade routes and developing plantations, aligning his interests with those of the British. In 1855, a British-endorsed agreement forced Sultan Ali to cede political control to the Temenggong in exchange for a pension and a keep in Kesang. This de-established the traditional sultanate's relevance, allowing Daeng Ibrahim to rule as the de facto sovereign without assuming the formal title of sultan.
The consolidation of this new dynasty was completed by Daeng Ibrahim's son, Abu Bakar, who succeeded him in 1862. With British permission, he changed his title of Temenggong to "Maharaja" in 1868 and finally "Sultan" in 1886, eventually becoming the first ruler of the modern House of Temenggong. As such, he established the foundation for the current monarchy, which continues today under Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar of Johor.
