Bandar Seri Coalfields is a township in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia. Located in the north-western corridor of the Klang Valley, it neighbours townships such as Puncak Alam, Bandar Saujana Utama, Bandar Tasik Puteri and the City of Elmina. Despite bearing the postal address of Sungai Buloh, the township falls under the local administrative jurisdiction of the Kuala Selangor Municipal Council.

Bandar Seri Coalfields is a 1,001-acre township that forms part of a larger 6,500 acres (2,600 ha)^[2] development project owned by Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad (KLK Land). The township was developed over former palm oil plantation land historically known as the Tuan Mee Estate. Officially launched in 2011, the township has an estimated population of 10,300 residents as of 2025.^[1]

The township is structured into several residential and commercial precincts. Precinct 1 and Precinct 3 consist of various residential phases, including the Hibiscus, Banyan, Bromelia, Duranta, Oleander, Ixora, and Senna housing developments. Precinct 2 serves as a mixed-use zone featuring residential units like Areca and Banyan 2, alongside commercial areas such as the BSC Waterfront Shops and BSC Central. The northern section of the township, known as North Haven, includes residential enclaves such as Hemmingway Residences, Hampton Residences, The Walden, Jardin Residences, and Quinton Residences.^[3]

The commercial area of the township includes the BSC Waterfront Shops, located in Precinct 2, which house convenience stores, clinics, automotive service centres, and food and beverage outlets. This was followed by the completion of BSC Central in 2018. An upcoming commercial addition is the Coalfields Retail Park, a shopping mall situated between the BSC Waterfront Shops and BSC Central. Scheduled to open in 2026,^[4] the mall will feature supermarkets, retail outlets, an ice-skating rink, and an indoor playground.^[1] Additional commercial facilities nearby include the KIPMall Desa Coalfields and local petrol stations.^[3]

Educational institutions operating in the township include the Wesley Methodist Private School and a Tamil primary school, SJK(T) Ladang Coalfields. To accommodate the population, new schools are being developed within the township's designated education hub. A new Chinese primary school, SJK(C) Lee Loy Seng, is currently under construction and expected to be operational by 2028. In September 2025, an agreement was signed to establish a branch campus of Kuen Cheng High School in Bandar Seri Coalfields. The independent Chinese secondary school is projected to welcome its first batch of approximately 500 students in the 2027 academic year.^[5]
