Muhammad IX (Muḥammad bin ʿAlī bin Ḥamdūn), called Muhammad Ngileruma, was the mai (ruler) of the Kanem–Bornu Empire in 1811–1814. Muhammad Ngileruma came to power after his nephew Dunama IX Lefiami was deposed in a palace revolt. Little is known of political developments in his reign, though he is credited with founding Kafela as a new imperial capital. Muhammad Ngileruma was deposed without a fight in 1814 and Dunama was restored to the throne.
