Mausoleum of Bendahara Tun Habab (GPS: 1.73301, 103.91018) is an old mausoleum in Kota Tinggi, Johor. Located in a village known as Kampung Makam, it is the final resting place of Bendahara Tun Abdul Majid Tun Habab @ Habib. Tun Habab became the bendahara or "premier" under the reigns of Sultan Ibrahim Shah I (1677-1685) and Sultan Mahmud Syah II² (1685-1699), who were the last two sultans of Johor in direct line of descent from Sultan Mahmud Shah of the Malacca Sultanate.

After Sultan Mahmud Syah II died without leaving an heir, Tun Habab was installed as the Sultan of Johor, taking on the title of Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Syah IV. In the year 1700, he relocated the administrative centre of Johor from Kota Makam Tauhid to Kota Panchor. His daughter, Tengku Tengah, was married to Daeng Perani, one of the five princes from Bugis. The present Sultan of Johor traces his ancestry to this line. Another son of Tun Habab, Tun Zainal Abidin, became the first Sultan of Terengganu, establishing a lineage for Terengganu that continues to this day. Yet another son of Tun Habab, Tun Abas, became Bendahara Seri Maharaja Pahang, or the Governor of Pahang, and his descendants is the present royal household of Pahang. With that said, the royal houses of Johor, Terengganu and Pahang call trace their ancestry back to Tun Habab.
