Rawang is a town in the Gombak District of Selangor, Malaysia, located about 25 kilometres northwest of Kuala Lumpur. It began as a tin mining town and has grown into a significant urban area within Greater Kuala Lumpur. Rawang used to be the capital of Gombak District until the district seat was moved to Bandar Baru Selayang in 1997, so the town now serves as a large settlement in the northern Klang Valley rather than as an administrative centre.
