Pulau Batang is a small island to the south of Pulau Dayang Bunting in Langkawi. The name "batang" means "branch". There is no clear explanation why this island was given the name.

Pulau Batang is located to the east of Pulau Balar, and is among a cluster of islets south of Pulau Dayang Bunting that also includes Pulau Gubang Darat, Pulau Gubang Laut, Pulau Tajai, Pulau Ketumbu, Pulau Selat Riang Riang and Pulau Ujong Buloh. Like the rest of these islets, it is uninhabited.
