Kangar (Kedah Malay: Kangaq; Jawi: كڠار‎) is the state capital and the largest town in Perlis, Malaysia.

The town is the smallest state capital in Malaysia and its inhabitants are mostly farmers and civil servants.

Its industries include cement, saw milling, rubber, paper, and processing of sugar and prawns.

Every trader and merchant who came and went to this place began calling it the Pohon Kangar Port, in honour of the tree.

Downtown Kangar is a mixture of old and new shophouses, and has an elegant colonial State Secretariat Building and clocktower from the 1930s.
