Jalawla (Arabic: جلولاء,[3] Kurdish: گوڵاڵە, romanized: Gulale[4][5] also known as Jalula[6]) is a town in Diyala Governorate, Iraq.

[8][9] Jalawla was the center of the Sasanian Šāḏ Qobāḏ Province and the Khurasan Road crossed the town.

[10] Before the launch of the Ba'athist Arabization campaigns in northern Iraq in the 1960s, the town had a Kurdish majority.

[9] Concurrently, the Arab al-Shuraifi tribe, which had settled in the area in the 1970s, was expelled from both Jalawla and Khanaqin after direct order from Kurdish politician Jalal Talabani.

[18] On 23 November 2014, the PMF and Peshmerga jointly recaptured the city, under the command of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
