Samraong (Khmer: សំរោង) is the capital of Oddar Meancheay Province in northwestern Cambodia.

The town means "impenetrable jungle", and lies within Samraong District.

Samraong is reemerging very slowly compared to other cities from decades of isolation, which was caused by a long civil war. The dusty town has poor infrastructure and basic guesthouses located near the central market.

To the north of the town is the border crossing of O'Smach into Thailand
