A '''Raja''' ({{lang-sa|राजा}} (rājā), also spelled Rajah) is a [[monarch]], or princely ruler of the [[Kshatriya]] [[varna]].

The title has a long history in the [[History of India|Indian subcontinent]] and [[Southeast Asia]], as it is found in the [[Rigveda]].<ref>where it is more accurately translated as "tribal chief"; see for example the ''दाशराज्ञ'' ([[dasharajna|{{IAST|dāśarājñá}}]]), the "battle of ten ''rajas''"</ref> It can also be used as a name for non-royal Indians.
In [[Pakistan]], Raja is still used by many Muslim [[Rajput]] [[clan]]s as {{broken wikt link|hereditary|hereditary}} titles. ''Raja'' is also used as a [[name]] by Hindus and [[Sikh]]s.

== Rajas in the Malay world ==
* The [[ruler]] of the [[state]] of [[Perlis]], [[Malaysia]] is titled the Raja of Perlis. Most of the other state rulers are titled [[Sultan]]s. But the Raja has equal status with the other rulers and is one of the electors who designate one of their number as the [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] every five years.
