Pengiran Anak Kemaluddin (8 March 1929 – 9 January 2012) was a Bruneian noble civil servant. He served as Brunei's state religious affairs officer from 1962 to 1970 before becoming the speaker of the Legislative Council of Brunei (LegCo) from 1981 to 1984 and 2004 to 2011. Additionally, he has served as a member of the Privy Council. Additionally, he was the father-in-law of Princess Rashidah, daughter of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

Under the reign of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, Pengiran Anak Kemaluddin was instrumental in bolstering Brunei's Islamic government. He led the creation of the Department of Religious Affairs as a distinct organisation on 1 July 1954, with the goal of enhancing religious administration, which had hitherto been restricted to issues like marriage and divorce. He was the founder of several Arabic schools. The institutions included the Seri Begawan Religious Teachers College (MPUSB), the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Damit Girls' Arabic Religious Secondary School, and the Hassanal Bolkiah Boys' Arabic Secondary School.
