Mukim Kianggeh is a mukim in Brunei-Muara District, Brunei. The population was 8,228 in 2016.[1] The mukim encompasses Pusat Bandar, the city centre of the capital Bandar Seri Begawan.
The name Kianggeh may have been derived from the Chinese term kiang, which means river, according to a book Dokumentasi. Although it is also conceivable that the name Kianggeh was derived from the name of a person, nothing has been documented about this as of yet.[2]
The mukim is located in the central part of the district, bordering Mukim Berakas 'A' and Mukim Berakas 'B' to the north, Mukim Kota Batu to the east and south, the mukims within Kampong Ayer and Mukim Lumapas to the south, Mukim Kilanas to the south-west and Mukim Gadong 'B' to the west.[citation needed]
