Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan (English: "God Lengthen the Sultan's Age") is the state anthem of Perak, Malaysia.

The tune was originally that of a popular song in Seychelles during the 19th century, originally written by French Pierre Jean de Beranger. It was adopted as the Perak Royal Anthem by Sultan Abdullah Muhammad Shah II, who was exiled on Seychelles for abetting murder.

In 1957, the national anthem of Malaysia, Negaraku was set to the melody of Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan.
