The Kinta Valley is a conurbation in central Perak, Malaysia, surrounding and including the state capital Ipoh. Historically the Kinta Valley was very rich in tin, and their mines have been among the most productive in the world.
The valley is formed by the Kinta River, a tributary of the Perak River, which flows between the Titiwangsa Mountains and the Kledang Range.
