Sri Paduka Dato' Bendahara Sri Maharaja Tun Ali ibni Almarhum Dato' Bendahara Paduka Raja Tun Koris (c. 1782 – October 1858) was the 23rd and the last Bendahara of the Johor Sultanate, and the fourth Raja Bendahara of the Pahang Kingdom reigning from 1806 to 1857.[citation needed]
In 1853, Tun Ali declared his autonomy from the sultanate, paving the way for an independent Pahang, after two centuries of union with the crown of Johor. He was able to maintain peace and stability during his reign, but his death in 1857 precipitated a civil war between his sons.[1]
