The Cheras–Kajang Expressway (CKE, E7) (Malay: Lebuhraya Cheras-Kajang), more popularly known as the Grand Saga Expressway, is an expressway in Klang Valley that links the incorporated township of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur to the township of Kajang in Selangor, Malaysia.

The Kilometre Zero is counted from the Kuala Lumpur city centre, while the expressway begins at Plaza Phoenix in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur as Kilometre 10.

The expressway is part of a major expansion of Jalan Cheras (Cheras Road), also known as Federal route 1, which consisted of a two-lane intercity road between Kajang and Cheras. Construction of the expressway commenced in late 1998 and, at a cost of RM275 million, was completed and began tolling on January 15, 1999. Having assumed a new name, the "Cheras–Kajang Expressway", and incorporated the mid-length of the original road into the expressway, the expressway consequently bisected Jalan Cheras into two at both ends of the original road: one at Kajang, and the other at Cheras, while remnants of the road's undeveloped routes between remain partially in use.

The Cheras–Kajang Expressway is among the first eight-lane dual carriageway in Malaysia, stretching from the Connaught Interchange in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur to Saujana Impian in Kajang. The expressway comprises one rest and service area and nine interchanges: "Pasukan Gerakan Am", "Hulu Langat", "Telekom", "Bandar Tun Hussein Onn", "Balakong", "Sungai Long", "Bukit Dukong", "Sungai Balak" and "Saujana Impian". The expressway has receive substantial volumes of traffic to and from linked localities. Between 2003 and 2004 alone, traffic volume increased 4%, with an average of 187,000 vehicles per day utillising the expressway in the financial year of 2004.
