Masai is an area in Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia, and is the oldest neighbourhood of the city of Johor Bahru. It is located 25 km (15.53 mi) from the Johor Bahru city centre. Masai is located on Jalan Masai Lama (Johor state route J10) which leads to Kong Kong, a fishing village along Johor River. It is also accessible via the Pasir Gudang Highway.
Many pre-war buildings are still well preserved. Masai, like many of the towns in the Johor Bahru district, catered to the rural population of farmers and rubber plantation workers throughout the early and mid 20th century.
