Samarinda Kota (, lit. 'Samarinda town') is a district of Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. As of 2023, it was inhabited by 32,379 people, and currently has the total area of 11.12 km2.
It was separated from Samarinda Ilir and Samarinda Ulu (Bugis only) on 14 December 2010. Its district seat is located at the village of Sungai Pinang Luar. One of its villages, Bugis, serves as de facto seat of Samarinda city government, although there were proposals to relocate into peripheral locations, including Sungai Siring (North Samarinda) or Makroman (Sambutan) in early 2020s.
An older district, with the same name, was already bifurcated into Samarinda Ilir and Samarinda Ulu during the early days of city's formation in 1960s (date unknown).
