Kampong Chhnang is the capital city of Kampong Chhnang Province, in central Cambodia.

It is located just west of the Tonle Sap River and is a noted port. The small city is connected to Phnom Penh by a national highway route and railway. Phnom Kong Rei is a landmark located north of the city across the Tonle Sap River.
