Tuanku Tengku Fauziah binti Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid (born 6 June 1946), is the current Raja Perempuan of Perlis. She also served as the Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia from 2001 till 12 December 2006.

Tuanku Fauziah is a princess of the royal houses of Terengganu on her father's side and Kelantan on her mother's side. Tuanku Fauziah is the daughter of Yang Amat Mulia Almarhum Tengku Temenggong Tengku Abdul Rashid ibni Almarhum Sultan Sulaiman of Terengganu and Yang Amat Mulia Almarhum Tengku Putri binti Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim of Kelantan. Her father granted the title of Tengku Temenggong by the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ibrahim Petra. She was born on 6 June 1946, and spent her early years in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

As a student at Zainab English School, Tuanku Fauziah enjoyed recreation and sports such as stage acting, netball and rounders.

At the very young age of 17, she became engaged to Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin, who at that time was still studying in the United Kingdom. To prepare her for her future role of consort to the heir and later to the ruler, she was invited to stay with her future husband's family while they lived at Istana Negara, Kuala Lumpur as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia. During her stay with her future in laws, she made trips back to Kelantan whenever necessary.

On 15 February 1967, Tuanku Fauziah was given in marriage to Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin who was then the Raja Muda of Perlis. In recognition of her new position, she was conferred the prestigious Seri Paduka Mahkota Perlis (SPMP) award by her new father-in-law, the late Tuanku Syed Putra, eight months later. On 30 April 1968, the princess was officially created "Duli yang Teramat Mulia Raja Puan Muda Perlis".
