Muhamad Sharip bin Othman,[1] DTNS, 11th Dato' Lela Maharaja (14 August 1941 – 15 May 2024) was the 21st Undang of Luak Rembau from 1998 until his death.

Muhamad was a direct descendant of the Dato' Lela Maharaja Suku Biduanda, of the Waris Nan Dua Carak (Perut Tebat) a sub-clan of the Biduanda clan. He was the head of the Waris Jakun lineage (who hold the hereditary title of Dato' Lela Maharaja); the other noble lineage of Rembau is the Waris Jawa (who hold the hereditary title of Dato' Sedia di-Raja). He was elected and installed as the Undang of Rembau on 21 November 1998. Although officially elected by the nobles of the state, the throne of the Undang alternates between the heads of the two noble houses.[citation needed]

Muhamad Sharip Othman died on 15 May 2024, at the age of 82.[2]
