Serian is a town in Sarawak, Malaysia, and the capital of the Serian Division, which separated on 11 April 2015 from Samarahan Division. It is about from Kuching. Sub-district headquarters towns are Balai Ringin and Tebedu.

The town is known for its durians, which are popularly believed to be the best in Sarawak. This has prompted the Serian District Council to erect a giant monument to this "king of fruits" in the middle of the market square. The town is well connected to its rich hinterland both by road and by water and thus there is all sorts of jungle produce available in the jungle produce market but lately, most produce was brought in from Kalimantan, Indonesia as the price are cheaper.

The district population was 90,763 in 2010.

There are many waterfalls found in Serian District. Ranchan Waterfall is located at about from Serian town and is easily accessible by road. Simuja Waterfall is another waterfall in Serian but was damaged badly by logging activities. It is about away from town. There is no proper road to the waterfall and visitors have to hike from the Serian-Sri Aman trunk road to get there.

Tebedu (formerly known as Bandar Mutiara), located about away from Serian town on the Indonesia-Malaysia border, is one of only three official land border crossings between Indonesia and Malaysia.

Tebakang, a small town approximately away from Serian, is home to Mayang Tea plantation, Sarawak's sole tea producer.

Climate

Serian has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
