Seri Menanti (Jawi: سري مننتي; Negeri Sembilan Malay: Soghi Monanti or Sonanti) is a town, a mukim, and a state assembly constituency in Kuala Pilah District, central Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, located 33 km (20.5 m) east of the state capital city of Seremban and 14 km (8.7 m) southwest of Kuala Pilah. It is the royal capital of the state of Negeri Sembilan and houses the seat of the ruler of the state of Negeri Sembilan, referred to as the Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan or Yamtuan Besar.[1] The royal palace is known as Istana Besar (Grand Palace).
The area in which Seri Menanti is located is known as the Adat Circle (Malay: Adat Lingkungan). Seri Menanti also governs the surrounding chiefdoms (known locally as luak) of Terachi, Gunung Pasir, Ulu Muar, Jempol, and Ineh, collectively known as Luak Tanah Mengandung.
