The Panji tales are a cycle of Javanese stories, centered around the legendary prince of the same name from East Java, Indonesia. The tales are the basis of various poems and a genre of wayang – shadow puppetry known in East Java.

Panji tales have spread from East Java to be a fertile source for literature and drama throughout a region that includes modern-day Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

The collection of Panji tales included in the UNESCO Memory of the World, besides the manuscripts in the National library of Cambodia, there are similar collections held by the national libraries of Indonesia, Malaysia and Leiden University Libraries (Netherlands).
