Mangkunegara IX (18 August 1951 – 13 August 2021) was the traditional ruler of the former state of Mangkunegaran, located in Java, Indonesia. He succeeded his father, Mangkunegara VIII, as the 9th Ruler of Mangkunegaran on 3 September 1987.[1][2] His full royal name was Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Mangkunegara IX.

Prior to his accession he was named Gusti Pangeran Hadiningrat Sujiwa Kusuma. In the meantime G.P.H. Sudjiwo Kusumo became viceroy in Mangkunegaran.

His accession was controversial because for the first time in Indonesian history, Mangkunegaran involved relatives outside the core to participate in the decision.
