The Mempawah Kingdom (Malay: کرجاءن ممڤاوه, romanized: Kerajaan Mempawah) also known as the Mempawah Sultanate, (Malay: کسلطانن ممڤاوه, romanized: Kesultanan Mempawah) was an Islamic Dayak kingdom located in a territory now known as the Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The name Mempawah is taken from the term "Mempauh", which is the name of a tree that grows in the upper reaches of the river, also known as the Mempawah River.[1] In its development, Mempawah became known as the name of one of the kingdoms and sultanates that developed in West Borneo. The history of Mempawah is divided into two periods, namely the Dayak kingdom based on Hindu teachings and the period of Islamic influence.[2]
