Almarhum Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Abidin III (born 1907 in Kuala Terengganu) was the fourth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (roughly equivalent to King) of Malaysia, and the sixteenth Sultan of Terengganu.
The third surviving son of Sultan Zainal Abidin III ibni Almarhum Sultan Ahmad II (reigned 1881-1918), his mother was a Thai Muslim convert, Cik Maimunah binti Abdullah.
Educated at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK), he served his two elder half-brothers as their aide de camp, before succeeding his deposed nephew, Sultan Ali Shah of Terengganu, in 1945 as the sixteenth Sultan of Terengganu. At the time, he held the office of Tengku Paduka Raja.
A keen photographer, he served as Yang di-Pertuan Agong between September 21, 1965 and September 20, 1970. In 1969, during a period of racial strife in Malaysia, he declared a nationwide state-of-emergency, suspended parliament and installed the Majlis Gerakan Nasional (MAGERAN).
He died in September, 1979 and was buried at Masjid Sultan Abidin 2 in Kuala Terengganu. His consort, Tengku Intan Zaharah binti Tengku Setia Raja Terengganu Tengku Hitam Umar, served as his Raja Permaisuri Agong.
His wives were:
- Che Wan Aminah binti Che Wan Chik - 2 daughters
- Tengku Tengah Zaharah binti Tengku Setia Raja Pahang Tengku Umar bin Sultan Ahmad Pahang (divorced) - 9 children
- Tengku Intan Zaharah binti Tengku Setia Raja Terengganu Tengku Hitam Umar - no children.
