Jelapang (GPS: 4.63746, 101.05939) is a small town in Kinta district, on the northeast part of Ipoh.

Jelapang is best known for its infamous assemblywoman, Hee Yit Foong, formerly of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), whose resignation from the party and subsequent alignment to the Barisan Nasional (BN) sparked the Perak constitutional crisis of 2009 that brought down Perak's Pakatan Rakyat government.
