Bahau is the principal town of Jempol District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.
==Etymology== The town's name is believed to have been derived from a Chinese phrase. Bahau's literal translation is "horse's mouth" while the nearby town, Mahsan means "horse's body" in Cantonese. Also, there's a linkage town called Tampin near the border with Malacca, locals nickname as Mahmei, means "horse's tail" in Cantonese.
