Semenyih is a town and a mukim in Hulu Langat District in southeastern Selangor, Malaysia, along the Kajang to Seremban road. It is 28 kilometres southeast of downtown Kuala Lumpur and 8 kilometres southeast of Kajang. The meaning of the name is uncertain and does not appear in any dictionary, but an oral story links it to a word in the Negeri Sembilan dialect meaning hidden. The surrounding area is hilly, and new highways and developments such as the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus have contributed to rapid growth, with the 15,100 people recorded in the 1991 census growing to over 45,000 by 2000.
