Bedong (pronounced as /bɪdŋ/) is a small town in Kuala Muda District, Kedah, Malaysia.

Due to the town's name spelling being irregular from the standard Malay alphabet, Malaysians who are not familiar with the town will call Bedong as /bədŋ/ or /bɛdŋ/ instead of the actual pronunciation which is /bɪdŋ/.
