Inanam is a suburb and sub-district of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from the city centre.

OKK Majimbun Majangkin is considered one of the key player in Inanam development.[1] During World War II, Inanam was the base where the Kinabalu Guerrillas led by Albert Kwok operated to fight the Japanese.[2]
