KL City Air Terminal is a terminal within KL Sentral for passengers boarding flights at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This "virtual extension" to KLIA is recognised by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and is assigned the code XKL.

The KL City Air Terminal opened to the public on 14 April 2002. It is used in conjunction with the KLIA Ekspres high-speed train service. Passengers departing from KLIA may purchase the KLIA Ekspres ticket and check in their luggage at the KL City Air Terminal. Presently (April 2015), city check-in facilities are only available for passengers flying Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines.

KLIA Ekspress tickets are valid for three months from date of purchase, and so may be purchased ahead of time. Passengers must allow a minimum of 2 hours between their departure from KL City Air Terminal to their flight departure time in KLIA.
