Menggatal (GPS: 6.02303, 116.15316) is a town to the north of Kota Kinabalu. With the expansion of Kota Kinabalu, Menggatal has been absorbed into the metropolitan area. Among the developments here include Universiti Malaysia Sabah and the huge retail development of 1Borneo Hypermall.

Traditionally Menggatal was a small town inhabited mostly by Dusun people, with some Chinese businesses. As with many towns in Sabah, it has since been inundated with illegal Filipino and Indonesian immigrants, many of whom are still staying here as squatters.
