Alara (Yoruba: Alárá) is the royal title of the king of Ilara-Mokin land in Nigeria. The Alara may be addressed as Oba, like rulers in other Yoruba kingdoms, or as His Royal Majesty. Alara is also known to be unquestionable (Yoruba: kábíyèsí), with an authority that is said to be next to the gods (Yoruba: alásẹ ìkejì òrìsà).
