A '''puppet monarch''' is a majority figurehead who is installed or patronized by an [[empire|imperial]] power in order to provide the appearance of local authority, while allowing political and economic control to remain among the dominating nation.

There are two basic forms of using puppets as monarchs (rulers, kings, emperors):
}}
* [[figurehead]]: the monarch is a puppet of another person or a group in the country, who are ruling instead of the nominal ruler.
* [[puppet government]] under a foreign power.

Examples of the first type are the [[Emperor of Japan|Emperors]] who were the puppets of the ''[[shōgun]]s'' of Japan and the kings who were the puppets of the [[Mayor of Palace]] in the Frankish kingdom. Client kingdoms under Roman Republic and Empire, [[British Empire]]'s [[Colonialism|colonial]] relationship with [[King Farouk]] of Egypt, in the 1950s, is an example of the second type.
