Pengiran Muhammad Ali

Pengiran Muhammad Ali bin Pengiran Haji Muhammad Daud (4 October 1916 – 16 June 2005) was a Bruneian civil servant, educator and noble politician. He served as Brunei's first state religious affairs officer from 1960 to 1962 and was appointed speaker of the Legislative Council of Brunei (LegCo) in 1962 before becoming the country's first deputy menteri besar (chief minister) from 1962 to 1965.

He was one of the "Three M's" or "Three Musketeers," feared by the British government, alongside Marsal Maun and Pengiran Muhammad Yusuf. As one of the founding members of the Brunei Malay Teachers Association (PGGMB). he was also a trusted confidante of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III and played a crucial role in advancing Brunei's nationalist aspirations. He was instrumental in revising the 1959 constitution and negotiating the Anglo–Brunei Agreement.

Beyond his influence in politics, he was a distinguished educationist, contributing significantly to the introduction and expansion of Islamic religious education in Brunei. He also played a key role in shaping the country's national education strategy. In the early 1950s, he facilitated the admission of Brunei's first two students to Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah in Singapore and spearheaded a program to send more Bruneian students there.

Additionally, he was the father-in-law of Princess Amal Nasibah, daughter of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III.
