Bagan Serai (Jawi: باݢن سراي) is a mukim in Kerian District, Perak, Malaysia. It is located 52 km (32 mi) southeast of George Town, the capital city of the neighbouring state of Penang. As such, the town is also part of Greater Penang, Malaysia's second largest conurbation, with the town's logistical needs being served by Penang's well-developed transportation infrastructure. There is the birthplace of No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei. A slightly different version as to how Bagan Serai got its name can be found at the website "Glimpses".
