Tupaq Yupanki III (Sapa Inka Tupaq Yupanki; born 13 May 1926) is the current Sapa Inka of Kayahallpa, having ascended to the throne some time after the death of his father, the previous Sapa Inka Titu Rimachi II in April 1959. Chosen according to traditional Kayahallpan ascension procedures, he was the 7th eldest son and 12th eldest child of Titu Rimachi II. Typified as a contemporary traditionalist, he has largely continued the social policies of his predecessor while embracing limited economic reforms. At 94 years old, he is the oldest Sapa Inka in history.
