Muara Badak (Indonesian pronunciation: [muˈ(w)ara ˈbadaʔ]) is an administrative district (kecamatan) of Kutai Kartanegara Regency, in East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. It covers a land area of 781.52 km2 and, as at mid 2024, it was inhabited by 49,428 people. Its district seat is located at the village of Muara Badak Ulu. Muara Badak borders the city of Samarinda (specifically the district of North Samarinda) to the southwest, the district of Anggana to the southeast, the Strait of Makassar to the east, the district of Marang Kayu to the north and the district of Tenggarong Seberang to the west. Natural gas reserves were discovered by Huffco in 1972, and as a result, the district gave its name to the state-owned corporation Badak LNG, which is active at Bontang.
