Berambang Island (Malay: Pulau Berambang) is situated along the southern bank of the Brunei River in Mukim Kota Batu, Brunei–Muara District, Brunei. As the largest and most populated of Brunei's islands, it holds both historical and ecological significance. The island is home to Tanjong Kindana, where Sultan Muhammad Hasan once established his palace and tomb at the river's entrance. Today, the mausoleum of Sultan Hasan remains a prominent historical landmark.
