Pitas is a town and district in the Kudat Division of the Malaysian state of Sabah. In 2010, its population was estimated at 37,808. The local populace is made up predominantly of ethnic Rungus and Orang Sungai (including Tambanuo) people, with a small number of Chinese Malaysians and other ethnic minorities.
Due to its geographical isolation and the general unsuitability of the land for agriculture, Pitas has one of the highest rates of poverty in Sabah.
