Kiulap is a neighbourhood and commercial area in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It is officially a village-level subdivision of Brunei under Gadong 'B' of Brunei-Muara District. Kiulap has an area of 176.53 hectares (436.2 acres); it has a population of 1,788.
Kiulap is home to the country's general hospital, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Hospital.
Kiulap is officially known in Malay as Kampung Kiulap (Kampung is sometimes spelt as Kampong), which literally means 'Kiulap Village'.
Kiulap is located in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, close to the City Centre as well as Gadong, another commercial area in the capital. It is also contiguous with Kiarong, another neighbourhood-cum-commercial area. The Kedayan River flows along the eastern part Kiulap, which also serves its border with Kumbang Pasang.
The construction of two parallel roads, namely the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Highway and Jalan Jame' Asr, have divided Kiulap into three sub-areas. Two of the portions comprise the neighbourhoods, where as the other part constitutes the commercial area; it is located in the northern part of Kiulap as well as near the Kedayan River.
The area of Kiulap is officially administered as village, the third- and lowest-level administrative division of Brunei, hence known as Kampung Kiulap (also Kampong Kiulap). It is one of the subdivisions under Gadong 'B', a mukim or subdistrict of Brunei-Muara. As a village, its community is headed by a ketua kampung or village head; the incumbent is Mohammad bin Abu Bakar.
