Kundasang is a hill station and town in the district of Ranau in Sabah, Malaysia that lies along the bank of Kundasang Valley within the Crocker Range, which neighbours Pekan Nabalu in nearby Kota Belud district. It is located about 6 kilometres away from Kinabalu National Park, 15.6 kilometres from Ranau town centre proper and is renowned for its vegetable market which is open seven days a week. It is the closest town to Mount Kinabalu and has a panoramic view of the mountain. It is populated mainly by the native Ranau Dusuns who are mostly Muslims since the colonial rule with a large significant Christian minority (especially in the Bundu Tuhan village where its native Dusun populace are mostly Roman Catholics owing to Christianisation of the tribe during colonial rule from animism by the Mill Hill Missionaries in today's Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu although the vast majority of Christian Dusuns in Ranau are from the Sidang Injil Borneo church) and a small population of Chinese people (mostly Hakkas including those of Sino-Native descent). Notably, almost all the shops are operated by locals.

At an elevation of almost 1,900 m (6,200 ft), it is the highest settlement in Malaysia. Kundasang is also famously known as the New Zealand of Borneo for its unique mountainous geographical terrain almost similar to New Zealand. The Desa Dairy Farm is located within Kundasang. thumb|right|Mountain in Kundasang.
