'''Chalong''' ({{langx|th|ฉลอง}}, {{IPA|th|t͡ɕʰā.lɔ̌ːŋ|pron}}) is a sub-district (''[[tambon]]'') in the southern portion of [[Phuket Province]], [[Thailand]]. It is one of eight sub-districts in the capital district (''[[amphoe mueang]]'') [[Mueang Phuket District|Mueang Phuket]].

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.

==Geography==
Neighboring ''tambons'' are (from south clockwise) Rawai, Karon, Patong, and Kathu of [[Kathu District]] and Wichit. To the southeast is Chalong Bay, with one of the most touristy beaches on the island.

== Administration ==
The ''tambon'' is administered by a [[tambon administrative organization]] (TAO) created in 1995.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=112|issue=พิเศษ 6 ง|pages=1–64|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง จัดตั้งองค์การบริหารส่วนตำบล (จำนวน ๖๑๘ แห่ง)|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2538/E/006/1.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125103754/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2538/E/006/1.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 25, 2012|date=March 3, 1995|language=Thai}}</ref> It is divided into 10 villages (''[[muban]]'').
