Tun Koris ibni Almarhum Tun Abdul Majid (died 11 March 1806) was the 21st Bendahara of Johor Empire and the third Raja Bendahara of Pahang who reigned from 1803 to 1806.

Tun Koris is the third son of the 19th Bendahara of Johor Tun Abdul Majid who succeeded on the death of his elder brother, Tun Muhammad who was drowned at sea off the coast of Endau.

Tun Muhammad's ship-mates, to the number of 40, who escaped with their lives from the ship-wreck, only to meet a worst fate. When they arrived at Pekan, all but two of them were slaughtered by Tun Koris, because they had not died with their prince. They were stabbed to death with a long kris. Koris's treatment of the ship-wrecked survivors earned him a well-merited reputation of cruelty.

The new Bendahara had been reared at Endau by his Bugis mother and made Tuan Jambul his chief minister. His rule however, was short. He died in 1806 leaving behind two sons and a daughter. He was succeeded by his son, Tun Ali.
