Boeng Keng Kang I (BKKI; Central Khmer: បឹងកេងកងទី១) is a quarter (sangkat) in Boeng Keng Kang Section (formerly in Chamkar Mon Section), Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

It has the nickname NGOville due to the presence of non-governmental organizations. Melanie Brew of the Phnom Penh Post described it as a "hip, trendy area" in 2008.[1] Brew added that "There is also a feeling for some that the area is a little bit too cosmopolitan or international and is divided or separated from the "real" Cambodia."[1]

In regards to area international schools Brew stated they were "Some of the best schools in town".[1]

Harrods International Academy has two campuses in Boeung Keng Kang I: the main campus and the early years campus.[2] Additionally Home of English is also in the community. Brew stated that ICan British International School and Zaman International School are in proximity.[1] The former campuses of British International School of Phnom Penh and International School of Phnom Penh (ISPP) were also in the community.[1] [3]
