京那巴鲁山（Mount Kinabalu）,也称作神山，是东南亚第一高峰。
京那巴鲁山是马来西亚沙巴州的象征，高海拔4095米，有着不可思议的魅力。
神山那看似圆滑却又痕迹斑斑的花岗岩石峰，犹如一个坚毅的男人忍受风吹雨打也坚挺着站立不到，不只是沙巴雄伟的象征，也是沙巴州原住民-卡达山杜顺族（Dusun）的神圣之地。是他们祖灵安息之地。神山也被称作“中国寡妇山”，关于中国寡妇山的传说众说纷纭，基本山就是一位中国男人和原住民女人结了婚，有一天中国男人回祖国后，从此音讯全无，他的妻子肝肠寸断，带着哀痛欲绝的心情登上了神山之巅，望夫成石。事实上要攀登上神山之巅并不容易，虽然说攀登之路有阶级和绳索之助，可是没有强壮与坚毅之心，很难成功登顶。尤其是如果是为了观看神山日出，非得在凌晨两点抹黑前进，赶在3个小时内攀越陡峭和崎岖山路，顶着强风、低温和稀薄的空气，方能抵达顶峰，感叹神山之美。
京那巴鲁山国家公园在1964年成立，目的是为了保护神山和那一带的植物和动物。因生物多樣性與珍貴的自然資源，在2000年12月被联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）列入世界自然和文化遗产。
