Prey Veng (Khmer: ក្រុងព្រៃវែង) is the capital of Prey Veng Province in southern Cambodia.

The town is located on the National Road 11 between Nak Loeung and Kampong Cham. It is located about two and half hours by road from Phnom Penh and three hours from Ho Chi Minh City. This quaint town is off the usual tourist trail and is uncrowded. It houses several old dilapidated colonial homes. There is a large lake west of the city which is dry from March to August.
