Tebedu District is a district in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.[1][2][3][4] It is a part of Serian Division that consists of Serian, Siburan, and Tebedu districts.[5] Before this, Tebedu District was a sub-district under Serian District which was then fully upgraded to a district in its own right. The majority of the population of this district is from the Bidayuh ethnic group.[5][6]

The administrative town for this district is the town of Tebedu. Tebedu District has an area of approximately 421 square kilometres (163 sq mi).[7] It is also the first international gateway of the Malaysian-Indonesia border,[8] connecting Kuching in Sarawak dan Pontianak in West Kalimantan. The Indonesian town bordering this district is Entikong.[6] Tebedu Immigration Complex was also built at the border between both countries.[6] In 1991, more than 57,000 Indonesians entered Malaysia via Entikong by using the immigration centre located between West Kalimantan and Tebedu District.[9][10]
