摘要
马六甲甲必丹制度（Kapitan System）的历史，最早可以追溯至16世纪的葡萄牙统治时期。最初，甲必丹一职是由葡萄牙贵族充当。荷兰殖民马六甲后，开始委任七位不同族群领袖为甲必丹。其中，第一任华人甲必丹由Notchin担任，所任的甲必丹一职是名誉性质。据统计，从16世纪至1826年，马六甲至少有13位华人领袖受委任为华人甲必丹。然而，有关马六甲华人甲必丹的历史研究，因早期面对缺乏文献记载，导致出现众说纷纭。所幸，在近十年，有不少关于马六甲华人甲必丹的史料涌现，促马六甲华人甲必丹历史受到国内外学者的重视。因此，本文将对马六甲华人甲必丹之研究成果进行梳理，并介绍近年来所发掘的新文献，以期能为将来研巧马六甲华人甲必丹历史时，有更为可靠的依据。
