Zaltan or Zelten (Arabic: زلطن) is a town in the district of Nuqat al Khams of northwestern Libya.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered parts of the old town as well as Roman olive presses.

The surrounding area is used primarily in dryland farming with barley, wheat, olives, dates, citrus fruits, figs, and grapes grown for export.

There is a secondary trade in livestock, primarily sheep, goats and camels, brought in from outlying communities.

There is a small museum in Zaltan displaying some of the local archaeological finds.
