Tengku Azlan ibni Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mu’azzam Shah (born 21 July 1949) is a retired Malaysian politician and had served as the Member of Parliament of Malaysia (MP) for Jerantut, Pahang from 1999 to 2013. Starting from 9 August 2021, he is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) of Barisan Nasional (BN), after his resignation as Temerloh Divisional Chief of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and later Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, which he rejoined for the second time since he quit UMNO in 2018.^[1]^[2]

In 1999, Tengku Azlan was appointed as the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Tengku Azlan declined a Deputy Minister post after the 2008 election, having previously served as a Deputy Minister for Transport.^[3] He was replaced by Ahmad Nazlan Idris as the Barisan Nasional candidate for Jerantut in the 2013 election. He was a member of the opposition Semangat 46 party early in his political career, running for Parliament unsuccessfully in the 1995 elections.

Tengku Azlan is a paternal half-brother of the late Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang and is the paternal uncle to the current Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah. He is married to Tunku Puteri Negeri Sembilan, Tunku Puan Sri Dato' Seri Jawahir Binti Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar and they have two sons and a daughter.^[4]

Tengku Azlan was conferred the title 'Tengku Panglima Besar' by his nephew on 30 July 2022, succeeding his grandnephew, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim after the latter acceded to become the Tengku Mahkota (Crown Prince) of Pahang.
