Marhum (Jawi: مرحوم‎), was, according to late tradition, the eighteenth King or Kolano of Ternate in the Maluku Islands. He supposedly ruled between 1465 and 1486, being the first king to adopt Islam. His name merely means "The Late", "The Deceased", and he is probably the same person as King Gapi Baguna II (Jawi: ݢاڤي بݢون ٢‎), mentioned in several other chronicles and king lists. His son, Zainal Abidin, became the first Sultan of Ternate.
