The Sultanate of Langkat (Malay: كسلطانن لڠكت) was a Malay Muslim state located in modern Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. It predates Islam in the region, but no historical records before the 17th century survive.[citation needed] It prospered with the opening of rubber plantations and the discovery of oil in Pangkalan Brandan.
