Segamat District, Administrative district in northern Johor, Malaysia

Segamat District spans 2,851 square kilometers and contains three major waterways: the Batu Pahat River, Endau River, and Muar River.

The district gained administrative independence in 1933 when authorities separated it from Muar district during a substantial governmental boundary reorganization.

The population of 197,762 residents maintains agricultural traditions through the cultivation of palm oil plantations and rubber production across the district.

The Segamat Municipal Council manages the northwestern section while the Labis District Council oversees the southwestern portion of the district.

The name originates from a Bendahara during the Malacca Sultanate who declared the river water 'segar amat', meaning extremely fresh.
