The Hikayat Patani (حكاية ڤتني), meaning Story Of Pattani, is a semi-legendary set of tales that chronicle the history of the Pattani Kingdom, now a southern province of Thailand.

These stories date to as early as the late 15th century, but were most likely first recorded at various times between 1690 and 1730 by as many as six different authors (the sections outlined below were first established by linguist Andries Teeuw and historian David K. Wyatt) and written in Jawi alphabet.

The story survives in a number of original manuscripts, the earliest transcribed by Munshi Abdullah in 1839, and held in the Library of Congress.
