Kampong Bengkurong is a village in Brunei-Muara District, Brunei, on the outskirts of the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

[3][4] The names Sengkurong and Bengkurong have a number of different origin stories, but according to Dusun speakers, Sengkurong means Kurong People and Bengkurong means Kurong River.

According to legend, this river's meandering sections once intersected and formed a circle when flooding occurred, but this circular path was interrupted because of the river's rapid flow.

Geographically speaking, the circle creates an oxbow lake that is completely cut off from the river.

The name kurong, which means to be contained, survived the disappearance of the cut-off portion through time.
