Maulana Hasanuddin (also spelled Hasanuddin) was a ruler of the Banten Sultanate from c. 1552 to 1570.
Hasanuddin was a Azmatkhani Sayyid, the son of Sunan Gunungjati and Nyai Ratu Kawunganten.
He extended the domains of Banten to the pepper-producing region of Lampung, in South Sumatra.
This area, which already had long-standing ties with West Java, facilitated Banten's rise to prominence as a pepper port.
