Bendahara Sri Maharaja Tun Mutahir (died 1510) was a famous Bendahara of the Malaccan Sultanate. Of Tamil Muslim ancestry, he was the seventh Bendahara, a post equivalent to a prime minister. Prior to holding the post of Bendahara, he also held the post of Temenggung. He was also an influential Tamil Muslim leader in Malacca who elected Tamil Muslims to important posts in the Malaccan government.^{[citation needed]}

Raja Mudaliar, after learning that a legal opponent had bribed the bendahara into siding with him, employed the assistance of Laksamana Khoja Hassan to spread rumors claiming that Tun Mutahir was scheming to take over the throne.

The Sultan then ordered the execution of Mutahir's family with the exception of Tun Fatimah, Mutahir's daughter whom the sultan desired to marry. Upon realising his mistake, Sultan Mahmud abdicated in favour of his son, Sultan Ahmad Shah.

[[Raja Mudaliar]], the Syahbandar (Chief of Port) of Malacca knew that Tun Mutahir always favoured his relatives and let them hold positions in the palace. This caused unhappiness between the other positions. Allegedly Raja Mendaliar  created a rumour that Tun Mutahir was scheming to take over the throne. The Sultan then ordered the execution of Mutahir's family with the exception of [[Tun Fatimah]], Mutahir's daughter whom the sultan desired to marry. Upon realizing his mistake, [[Mahmud Shah of Malacca|Sultan Mahmud]] abdicated in favour of his son, [[Ahmad Shah of Malacca|Sultan Ahmad Shah]].
