Ibrahim ibni Iskandar (Jawi: إبراهيم ابن إسکندر; born 22 November 1958) is King of Malaysia and the fifth Sultan of modern Johor.

Ibrahim was born during the reign of his great-grandfather, Sultan Sir Ibrahim, and became heir apparent when his father, Sultan Iskandar, acceded to the throne of Johor in 1981. He was created Crown Prince of Johor on 3 July 1981. He was educated at Trinity Grammar School in Australia. In 1982, he married Raja Zarith Sofiah. They had six children, notably Ismail Idris and Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah.

Ibrahim became Sultan of Johor upon his father's death in 2010.

On 31 January 2024, Ibrahim was sworn in as the 17th King of Malaysia,[1] having been elected to a five-year term on 27 October 2023.[2][3] Significant events in his reign have included his installation in July 2024.[4]
