Tengku Intan Zaharah binti Tengku Hitam Omar (13 April 1928 – 24 January 2015) was the Tengku Ampuan Tua of Terengganu. She was formerly the Tengku Ampuan (Queen) of Terengganu from 1945 to 1979. She also served as the fourth Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia from 1965 to 1970.
Tengku Intan was born in Singapore on 13 April 1928. Her father, Tengku Setia Raja Terengganu Tengku Hitam Omar, was a member of the Singapore (Johor Bendahara Horeh) royal family, serving in the Terengganu State Civil Service as the State Secretary of Terengganu; he was exiled since the death of the last Sultan of Singapore, Alauddin Alam Shah, in 1897. Her mother was Raja Zainab binti Raja Alang (second wife of her father).
Tengku Intan received her education at the Malay School in Telok Kurau and Katong Convent, Singapore.
Tengku Intan married Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Abidin III (then Tengku Paduka Raja of Terengganu) on 3 April 1944 as his second wife. She had no children with him.
On 5 November 1945 the Terengganu State Council of thirteen members announced the dismissal of Sultan Ali Shah and the appointment of Tengku Ismail as the fifteenth Sultan of Terengganu. Tengku Ismail became known as Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah and was installed on 6 June 1949 at Istana Maziah, Kuala Terengganu.
Accordingly, Tengku Intan Zaharah became Tengku Ampuan (Queen) of Terengganu. Tengku Intan served as Raja Permaisuri Agong during her husband's reign as the fourth Yang di-Pertuan Agong or King of Malaysia.
