Hang Jebat (Jawi: هڠ جبت‎; born c. 1400) was the closest companion of the legendary Malaccan hero Hang Tuah. Regarded in Malaysia as one of the greatest silat exponents in history, he is well known for his vengeful rebellion against the Malacca Sultan and final duel with Hang Tuah, who he swore to avenge after he was wrongfully punished by the Sultan. In contrast to Tuah's undying loyalty to the sultanate, Jebat is most remembered for his fierce defiance against unjust authority.
