Valdor is a small town and farming community in Seberang Perai Selatan. It is located adjacent to Sungai Bakap.

Until the late 1970's, Valdor was an agricultural town. It got its name from Val d'Or, which means Gold Valley in French. This was because the area was initially established by a Frenchman.

The person credited to founding Valdor was a Teochew named Kee Lye Huat, who arrived in Seberang Perai in 1852. He was one of the many 19th century stories of rags to riches. Through living a frugal life, Kee managed to become a successful sugar planter. He was also lucky in marrying rich, when he was married to the daughter of his boss, Khaw Loh Hup, a pioneer sugar panter in the area.

Valdor and Sungai Bakap is almost overlapping each other though geographically Valdor is slightly to the north of the town of Sungai Bakap.
