Y.T.M. Haji Dato' Muhammad bin Sharif Othman, DTNS, 11th Dato' Lela Maharaja (born 14 August 1941 at Chembong Kecil, Rembau), is the 21st and current Undang of Luak Rembau.

Muhammad is a descendent of the Dato' Lela Maharaja Suku Biduanda, of the waris Nan Dua Carak (Perut Tebat). He is the head of the Waris Jakun lineage (who hold the hereditary title of Dato' Lela Maharaja); the other noble lineage of Rembau is the Waris Jawa (who hold the hereditary title of Dato' Sedia di-Raja). He was elected and installed as the Undang of Rembau on 21 November 1998. Although officially elected by the nobles of the state, the throne of the undang alternates between the heads of the two houses.[1]
