Calang (Jawoë: چالڠ), the capital of the Aceh Jaya Regency of the special territory (daerah istimewa) of Aceh, is on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.

It had a population of about 12,000 though it was reported to have "vanished completely leaving only scattered shards of concrete" as a result of the tsunami produced by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.

The trail of destruction left by the tsunami extends two kilometers inland from the coast.

The township, a former Indonesian Military (TNI, Tentara Nasional Indonesia) stronghold, has been relocated inland, according to Indonesian Welfare Minister Alwi Shihab.
