Ampang Jaya, more commonly known as just Ampang, is a town, a mukim and a parliamentary constituency straddling parts of the Hulu Langat District and Gombak District in eastern Selangor, Malaysia, just outside the eastern border of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory. It is administered by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council, formed on 1 July 1992 when the Gombak and Hulu Langat District Councils ceded Ulu Klang and Ampang. Ampang was one of the earliest areas of the Klang Valley to be opened for tin mining, when 87 Chinese miners were sent from Lukut in 1857, and its name derives from the Malay word for dam, after the miners' dams.
