Stung Treng City (Khmer: ទីក្រុងស្ទឹងត្រែង), (Lao: ຊຽງແຕງ, pronounced [t͡ɕʰīaŋ təŋ]) is the capital of Stung Treng Province, Cambodia. It is located in the western part of the Virachey National Park.[1] It is the major city (and capital) of both the district and province and has a population of 29,665 (2009). In Lao, the city's name is known as Xieng Teng.

Stung Treng is located on a high sandy bank overlooking the Mekong River, where it is joined by the Se Kong river. It lies along the National Highway 7,[2][3] about 400 km from Phnom Penh and 50 km south of the Laos border. The city has two main brides the Stung Treng Bridge on the Mekong and the Sekong Bridge on the Sekong river. The population is made up of a mix of Khmer and Lao peoples. It contains a hospital, the Acleda Bank, Kong Ratana Sambath Guesthouse, Ou Dynak Red Guesthouse, Sok Sambath Hotel and Sorya Restaurant and an old settlement nearby called Thala Barivat.[1]

The city is served by Stung Treng Airport, but currently there are no regular commercial services.
