Gemas is a small town and a mukim in Tampin District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, near the Negeri Sembilan-Johor state border.

Gemas is notable for being at the railway junction between the Malaysian west and east coast rail lines. For this reason, Gemas is comparatively busy for a town of its size.

Gemas is accessible via train from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The whole town of Gemas stretches from Negeri Sembilan, crossing into the border with Johor. The Johorean side of Gemas is known as Gemas Baharu, in Segamat District, which is located about 1 km from Gemas town centre, implying that the original Gemas town centre is on the Negeri Sembilanese side.

To the southwest stands the famed Gunung Ledang, also known as Mount Ophir, with a height of 1276 m.
