Technical Institute of Kuala Lumpur (TiKL) (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kuala Lumpur), is a technical and cluster school located in Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur and it's the oldest technical school in Malaysia that was founded in 1926.

In 1927, The Federated Malay State Government Trade School was created after the Federated Malay States government wished to train skilled workers in technical fields by Mr Noel Leembruggen, an ILO officer and engineer and Mr. Geary, a superintendent.

[1] Its name was changed again to Technical Institute[2] after the Report of the Education Committee in 1956 (known as 'Penyata Razak') which also suggested that the school transform into a full secondary school which offered its students basic technical skill for the Lower Certificate of Education (LCE) holders.

The first batch of students for the Technical Institute was enrolled in February 1957 with Mr. Lai Nyen Foo as the principal.

Finally in 1962, the school changed its name to Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kuala Lumpur.
