Kuala Dungun (GPS: 4.75367, 103.41945) is a coastal town in Terengganu, on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The town is often just called Dungun, although technically Dungun refers to the district in which Kuala Dungun is located.

Dungun was the site of iron mining activities in the pre-war days. The iron mine is located in Bukit Besi in Dungun. After the mine closed down in the 1970's, Dungun reverted to being another sleepy hamlet in Terengganu.
