Cheras (Chinese: 蕉賴; Jyutping: Ziu1 Laai6; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chiau-nāi; Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Tsiâu-lai) is a suburban and a district, straddling both the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Hulu Langat District in the state of Selangor, Malaysia.

The township is located to the south-east of downtown Kuala Lumpur. Cheras is also adjacent to Ampang to the north and Kajang to the south, both of which are major towns that administer some townships in Cheras such as Taman Segar Perdana, Taman Bukit Segar, Cheras Hartamas and Kampung Cheras Baru. These townships are either administered in whole or part by both MPKJ and MPAJ due to its close proximity.^[1]

The district mainly consist of Chinese residents, which also make up the majority of voters for the Cheras electorate.
