Sambutan (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈsambutan]) is a district of Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Sambutan borders Kutai Kartanegara Regency (specifically the district of Anggana) to the east.

According to the local legends, it begins with a crocodile who lived in the Mahakam and liked to receive tree branches falling into the river.

Also, the region was mostly inhabited by Banjar people, who are known for their culture of welcoming (menyambut — sambutan "greeting") guests in a friendly and sincere manner.

They were transferred to Samarinda in exchange for return of Sanga-Sanga, Muara Jawa, and Samboja districts into Kutai Kartanegara.
