Sungai Melaka is one of the major rivers in Langkawi. It flows west to empty into the Andaman Sea. The name of the river refers to the Melaka tree, Phyllanthus emblica, and has nothing to do with the state of Malacca. The village on the upper reaches of Sungai Melaka is called Ulu Melaka, after the river.
