Abdul Kahar ibni Bolkiah (c. 1513 – 1578) or posthumously known as Marhum Keramat, was the seventh sultan of Brunei from 1524 until his abdication in 1530. He was reputed to possess supernatural abilities and be a devout man (berkeramat). He abdicated in 1530 to allow his nephew and adopted-son Saiful Rijal to become Sultan. Additionally, he was known as Siripada by Antonio Pigafetta in 1521.
