Abdul Jalilul Akbar ibnu Muhammad Hasan (Jawi: عبد الجليل الأكبر ابن محمد حسن; died 1659), posthumously known as Marhum Tua, was the sultan of Brunei. His verified reign of 61 years, make the longest of any Bruneian sovereign.
According to Jamil Al-Sufri's Tersilah Brunei, he was quoted being a wise ruler and quick to understand antics of his brother, Ibrahim Ali Omar Shah. Through his rule, Brunei saw the strengthening of ties between the Spanish Empire, which was heavily affected by the Castilian War. Moreover, it was only during his reign where the Sultan Hasan's Canons (Syariah Penal Code) were fully implemented and used.
