Chalong (Thai: ฉลอง, pronounced [t͡ɕʰā.lɔ̌ːŋ]) is a sub-district (tambon) in the southern portion of Phuket Province, Thailand.

The most important of the 29 Buddhist temples on Phuket is Wat Chalong (วัดฉลอง, วัดไชยธาราราม).

It is dedicated to two monks, Luang Pho Chaem (หลวงพ่อแช่ม) and Luang Pho Chuang (หลวงพ่อช่วง), who with their knowledge of herbal medicine helped the injured in a tin miners rebellion in 1876.

To the southeast is Chalong Bay, with one of the most touristy beaches on the island.
