Tan Jin Sing (Chinese: 陈仁性; 1760 – 10 May 1831), titled Raden Tumenggung Secadiningrat, was a bureaucrat of the Yogyakarta Sultanate. He was Kapitan Cina for Kedhu and later Yogyakarta, before his actions in support of Hamengkubuwono III resulted in his elevation to the rank of bupati. He was the first Chinese to be appointed to Javanese nobility. Adopted by a Chinese family as a baby, Tan had become involved as a Kapitan Cina by 1793, and moved to Yogyakarta in 1802. There, he became involved in the politics of the Yogyakarta Sultanate, strongly supporting Dutch and British involvements. In particular, his support for the British after their 1811 invasion of Java and sacking of Yogyakarta resulted in his elevation into Yogyakartan nobility. Despite this, he was estranged from Javanese aristocrats due to his European relationships.
