Kampong Keriam (Malay: Kampung Keriam) is a village located in the Tutong District of Brunei, within the mukim of Keriam. Located approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Tutong town, it had a population of 1,980 in 2021, predominantly comprising the Tutong ethnic group. Originally an area for paddy and rubber cultivation, it transformed into a village in 1924 when residents from nearby settlements, including Kampong Penanjong, Panchor Papan, Penampang, and Kelakas, relocated there. The village's growth was further supported by the development of the main road in the Tutong District during the 1920s, establishing it as a thriving residential area.
