The Sultanate of Jambi was in northern Sumatra. It was centered in the modern-day province of Jambi in Indonesia.

In 1682 it was disputed as a vassal state between the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) and the Kingdom of Siam.^[1]

In the late 19th century the sultanate was slowly annexed by the Dutch, with the sultan degraded to a puppet ruler. By 1907 the last vestiges of indigeous rule had been abolished.
