The Jempol District (Negeri Sembilan Malay: Jompo; Jawi: جمڤول) is the largest district in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan. The district borders Jelebu District to the northwest, Kuala Pilah District to the west, Tampin District to the south, Bera District, Pahang to the northeast and Segamat District, Johor to the east. Bandar Seri Jempol and Bahau are the principal towns in Jempol.^[4]

Jempol is also the meeting point of Muar and Serting rivers. The meeting point had played an important transportation role in ancient times. Known historically as Jalan Penarikan, it connected trade posts west of the Malay Peninsula with population centres in the east coast and vice versa.
