Summary:North Halmahera is an expansion area of Ternate Sultanate, a Muslim state in eastern Indonesia. This study focuses on archaeological evidence to explain the process and development of the influence of Islamic Ternate Sultanate in that region. Through archaeological surveys, literature studies and interviews, gathered evidence on the influence of Islam in the region, especially its relation to the political power and economic  factor of the Ternate Sultanate, as the center of Islamic power in North Maluku. The result shows that the east coast of North Halmahera, including Tobelo, Galela and Kao, is an expansion area of Ternate's Islamic rule that developed since the 16th century AD, even the evidence of the region under Ternate's rule can still be found today. Halmahera Utara merupakan wilayah kekuasaan Kesultanan Ternate, sebuah kerajaan Islam di Indonesia bagian timur. Kajian ini menitikberatkan pada bukti-bukti arkeologis untuk menjelaskan proses dan perkembangan pengaruh Islam Kesultanan Ternate di wilayah tersebut. Melalui survei arkeologi, studi literatur dan wawancara, dikumpulkan bukti-bukti tentang pengaruh Islam di wilayah tersebut, terutama hubungannya dengan faktor politik kekuasaan dan ekonomi Kesultanan Ternate, sebagai pusat kekuasaan Islam di Maluku Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wilayah pesisir timur Halmahera Utara, meliputi Tobelo, Galela dan Kao, merupakan wilayah ekspansi kekuasaan Islam Ternate yang berkembang sejak abad 16 M, bahkan bukti-bukti wilayah tersebut dibawah kekuasaan Ternate masih dapat dijumpai hingga sekarang.
