Rusila (GPS: 5.24199, 103.18548) is a small town in Terengganu. It is located along the coast to the south of Kuala Terengganu.

Rusila came to national attention during the General Election on 8 March, 2008, when supporters of the PAS political party clashed with the police after protesting the presence of two buses alleged to be ferrying in phantom voters by Barisan Nasional, the party that controls the Federal Government. The clash led to the detaining of 22 people, including Mohamad Khalil, 31, the son of Abdul Hadi Awang, the president of PAS.
