Stung Treng City (Khmer: ទីក្រុងស្ទឹងត្រែង; Lao: ຊຽງແຕງ, pronounced [sía̯ŋ tɛ̀ːŋ]) is the capital of Stung Treng Province, Cambodia. It is the major city (and capital) of both the district and province.

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