Kampong Jerudong is a village in Mukim Sengkurong, Brunei–Muara District, Brunei, about 21 kilometres (13 mi) from the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

It is of historical interest as it is considered the starting point for the Kedayan community and where they first introduced rice cultivation.

According to one account, Sultan Bolkiah brought the Kedayan to teach rice cultivation to his people, and they first settled in Kampong Pasir, Jerudong.

[3] The name Kampong Jerudong is said to have originated from a folktale about two fishermen who were fishing in the Sungai Si Anggus river.

This is comparable to the origin of the term "Brunei", which was taken from the words "Baru-nah", pronounced by the Sakai people upon discovering a new settlement that they had been looking for.

[6][7] Nevertheless, drilling was renewed in 1940, and subsequently in 1955, by the then British Malayan Petroleum Company, resulting in the six wells being spudded.

Rather, the village's oldest inhabitant took on a leadership role, and the other residents obeyed the laws and regulations that this elder established.

Jerudong has a number of grocery stores, restaurants and other types of shops which mainly cater the livelihood of the residents.

[15] Around 1951, road construction began in Kampong Jerudong, but it could not be fully utilised that year due to various issues.

[18] Additionally, the village houses the consulates of Russia and Benin,[19] as well as Istana Nurul Izzah, the residence of Mariam Abdul Aziz's family.

At that time, the distance from the village to the city was considerable, and the main mode of transportation was riding water buffalo.

[27] Pengiran Muda Hashim officiated the opening of the Kampong Jerudong Mosque on 14 August 1959, representing the sultan of Brunei.

[16] Waqf (endowment) from Pengiran Isteri Hajjah Mariam binti Haji Abdul Aziz[30] was used to build this mosque.
