The Kutainese people or Kutai people (Tenggarong Kutai Malay: Urang Kutai; Kota Bangun Kutai Malay: Urang Kutai), are a Malayic ethnic group that inhabit major parts of Indonesian province of East Kalimantan (i.e. throughout the historical region of Kutai), especially the regencies of East Kutai, Kutai Kartanegara, and West Kutai (all of them were previously part of the Special Region of Kutai). They descended from earlier Dayak peoples who have later embraced Islam.
