Pengiran Shariffuddin bin Pengiran Metali (19 October 1936 – 22 April 2018), pen name P. M. Shariffuddin, was a historian and monographer from Brunei who previously served as the first director of the Brunei Museum from 1974 to 1982. Due to his understanding of the genealogical history of the Sultans of Brunei and profound comprehension of Brunei's sociocultural history, Pengiran Shariffuddin was a highly sought-after authority on Bruneian history and a valuable resource of information on the sultanate's early history.[1]
