Kianggeh is a mukim, the second-level administrative division of Brunei, whereby it is one of the mukims or subdistricts of Brunei-Muara District. The head for the community of Kianggeh is a penghulu; the acting incumbent is Naim bin Kamis, who is also the penghulu of Kota Batu.
The area of Kianggeh is officially subdivided into nine villages, which are the third- and lowest-level subdivisions of Brunei.
