Parit Bakar (Chinese: 巴力峇九) is a small town in Muar District, Johor, Malaysia. It is subdivided to "Parit Bakar Darat" and " Parit Bakar Laut". Parit Bakar Laut is 1 km towards the coastline from Parit Bakar town centre.
The centre of the township consists of a Chinese primary school, Chi Sin Primary School, a Chinese temple, Long Shan Yan Temple (龙山岩), and a few rows of shop.
At the junction of Jalan Abdul Rahman and Jalan Parit Bakar, is the new Parit Bakar Mosque, which was rebuilt in 2004. Its roof, which resembles a pagoda instead of the usual dome, is similar to the historic Tranquerah Mosque in Malacca.
