Jikirum Adjaluddin (January 11, 1912 – April 1, 1938) was a Filipino swimmer. Growing up in Jolo, Sulu, he learned how to swim in the waters that surrounded the municipality. He would eventually compete at the 1930 Far Eastern Championship Games as part of the Philippine national team, winning a silver medal in the men's 200 metre breaststroke. He would also represent the Philippines at the 1932 Summer Olympics, reaching the finals of the same event.

Two years later, he would compete at the 1934 Far Eastern Championship Games and would win a silver and bronze medal. At the 1936 Summer Olympics, he would reach the semifinals of the men's 200 metre breaststroke and men's 100 metre freestyle but would not reach the finals of either event. He would be the first Southeast Asian swimmer to qualify for two events at a single Olympic Games.
