Jalan Tanglin is a minor road in Kuala Lumpur. It is located in a leafy, hilly part of the city. Jalan Tanglin connects Jalan Cenderawasih on one end to Jalan Lembah, at the intersection with Jalan Tembusu and Jalan Cenderasari, on the other.

There is also a Tanglin Road in Singapore, but as of now, I have not yet ascertain if there is a connection between the two.
