C. A. (Charles Agar) Bampfylde

Charles Agar Bampfylde was a British writer and colonial official closely connected with the history of Sarawak in Borneo. He served in the Sarawak Civil Service from the 1870s and held senior posts under the Brooke regime, including Resident of the First Division. Later, after returning to Britain, he acted as Rajah Charles Brooke's political agent.

His name is most often remembered through A History of Sarawak under Its Two White Rajahs, 1839–1908, written with Sabine Baring-Gould and published in 1909. Because Bampfylde had direct experience of Sarawak's administration, the book carries the perspective of someone who knew the state from the inside.

Records from the British Museum also connect him with Sarawak through objects he donated or from which he was listed as the source. He died in 1918, and later notices in Sarawak remembered him as a trusted figure in the Rajah's service as well as an important witness to a distinctive chapter of Southeast Asian colonial history.
