The Sultanate of Banjar (Banjar: كسلطانن بنجر, romanized: Kasultanan Banjar) was a nation-state of the Banjar in the form of a Islamic sultanate in Borneo which was founded in 1526 and existed until its dissolution in 1860 by the colonial government of the Dutch East Indies and its collapse in 1905.[5][6][7][8][9] The Banjar Sultanate was restored in the 2010 restoration, but without political power.[10][11][12][13]

When the capital was in Kayu Tangi, the Sultanate was referred to as the "Kayu Tangi Kingdom". After a long civil war that destroyed the Negara Daha, Surianshah of Banjar (r. 1526–1540) emerged victorious and crowned himself as the first Sultan of Banjar, and founded the Banjar sultanate with its capital in Kuin. Soon after the stabilization of the new state, he ordered a massive expansion to Sambas and the Sulu Archipelago. The vast territory was maintained by his son, Rahmatullah of Banjar (r. 1540–1570).[14]

Despite the loss of a number of territories, the reign of Mustain Billah of Banjar (r. 1595–1642)[14] was the peak of Banjar's glory with the development of the pepper trade and Banjar's dominance over the surrounding seas, which became a strategic trading point from the Straits of Malacca and Brunei to Gowa and Maluku. At the end of his reign, Mustain Billah faced conflict with the Dutch East India Company (VOC) which culminated in a failed attack on Banjarmasin in 1633. This failed VOC attack strengthened Mustain Billah's position and the conflict continued during the reign of his son, Inayatullah of Banjar (r. 1642–1645). In the end, the Dutch agreed to sign a peace treaty during the reign of Rakyatullah of Banjar (r. 1660–1663).

From 1663 to 1679, there was a civil war between Sultan Agung of Banjar (r. 1663–1679) based in Banjarmasin and Tahlilullah of Banjar (r. 1663–1679; 1679–1708) based in Batang Alai. Dutch support for Tahlilullah and Tahlilullah's victory in the invasion of Banjar in 1679 gave the VOC more economic authority and slowly dominated Banjar. After extensive expansion and negotiations, Tamjidillah I of Banjar (r. 1734–1759) and his son-in-law, Muhammad of Banjar (r. 1759–1761) managed to recover most of the Banjar territory, the latter taking a tough stance against the Dutch. Tahmidullah II of Banjar (r. 1761–1801) succeeded in reducing the influence of the VOC in Banjar, although he again handed over many areas to the VOC, these areas were again controlled by Banjar during the time of Sulaiman of Banjar (r. 1801–1825). The Banjar Sultanate then became a Dutch protectorate during the reign of Adam of Banjar (r. 1825–1857), and the sultan's influence was suppressed.

The succession crisis of Adam of Banjar, and the unilateral appointment of Tamjidillah II of Banjar (r. 1857–1859) by the Dutch led to the outbreak of the Banjar War, in which opposition forces supporting Sultan Hidayatullah II of Banjar (r. 1859–1862) managed to win the succession battle. The Dutch, who did not accept this, dissolved the Sultanate in 1960 and exiled Hidayatullah II to Cianjur. Prince Antasari (r.1862) was installed as Sultan of Banjar and led a brief resistance before dying of smallpox. Muhammad Seman (r. 1862–1905) led a government in exile in Puruk Cahu, known as Pagustian, before being killed in 1905, marking the collapse of the Banjar Sultanate.[14] In 2010, the Banjar Sultanate was restored with the coronation of al-Mu'tasim Billah as Sultan of Banjar.
