Snoeng Temples, known locally as Prasat Sneung (Khmer: ប្រាសាទស្នឹង, lit.'Snoeng Temple'), refers to the remains of two ancient Hindu Khmer temples: Snoeng East Temple (Prasat Snoeng Khang Khaeut) and Snoeng West Temple (Prasat Snoeng Khang Lech), separated by 200 metres within the compound of Wat Snung. Located in the Snoeng commune of Battambang province in Cambodia, both the temples were built in different eras around 11th and 12th centuries, with the western one being newer. The complex is located approximately 22 kilometres southwest of Battambang city.
