Permaisuri Siti Aishah (born Siti Aishah Abdul Rahman; 18 November 1971) was the consort of the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. She is the youngest ever Raja Permaisuri Agong (Queen) of Malaysia, ascending the throne at the age of 29 in 1999. During her reign, she was known as Tuanku Siti Aishah.

She grew up in Kuala Lumpur, received her early education at the Jalan Gurney Primary School and furthered her studies in banking at the Kelantan branch campus of the Mara Institute of Technology (now known as Universiti Teknologi MARA) in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
Having married Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj in 1990, she was made Cik Puan Besar of Selangor. In 1998, she became Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor with style Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Permaisuri Selangor,Tengku Permaisuri Siti Aishah.
The second commoner to become Raja Permaisuri Agong, she is believed to have remarried since the death of her husband the late king on 21 November 2001 - a claim which she has since denied.
She came back into the limelight on New Year's Day in 2006 for an exclusive interview by The Star Malaysia, where the newspaper had wrongly addressed her as Tuanku Siti Aishah. The Selangor Council of the Royal Court has then immediately responded by stating that the former consort of the late Sultan of Selangor should be addressed as Yang Amat Mulia Permaisuri Siti Aishah binti Abdul Rahman. The honorific title Yang Amat Mulia was in recognition of the Darjah Kerabat Yang Amat Dihormati (DK, The Most Honourable Royal Family Order of Selangor), which was conferred on her by her late husband Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah.
In the interview, she talked about her life since the late king (whom she fondly referred to as Almarhum) died, how she coped with his death with her family's love and support, her nephews Abdul Aziz (whom the late king named after himself shortly before he died) and Abdul Azim as her solace, her role as the former queen of Malaysia, her relationship with the late king, and her hope to find love and remarry again, with her parents' blessings.[1]
Permaisuri Siti Aishah also the patron of the UiTM Alumni, Selangor Women’s Association, Selangor Girl Guides, Jantung Hatiku Society and Girl Guides Association of Malaysia.
