Temryuk Idar, Temroqwa Idar, or Kemirgoko Idarov (Kabardian: Айдарыкъуэ Темрыкъуэ) was a East Circassian prince of the Princedom of Kabardia (Eastern Circassia) and its head of power for part of the sixteenth century. His fame was largely due to the association of his name with the alliance with Ivan IV and the marriage of his daughter, Maria Temryukovna. When Temryuk came to power, he put down the revolts of the disputing princes, and helped Circassia become a military power within the North Caucasus. he was noted as "one of the most noble Circassian rulers"
