Palangkaraya is the capital city of the Indonesian province Central Kalimantan. The population of the municipality is 160,018 (2000 census). The closest airport serving the city is Tjilik Riwut.

The city, along with other parts of central Kalimantan (such as the town of Sampit), was the site of ethnic violence between the indigenous Dayak people and Madurese immigrants in February and March 2001.
