Langley is an unincorporated community in the census-designated place of McLean in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States.

The community was essentially absorbed into McLean many years ago, although there is still a Langley High School.[1] In addition to being a bedroom community for Washington, D.C., the area is the site of the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the headquarters of the Federal Highway Administration, and the Claude Moore Colonial Farm of the National Park Service. Therefore, Langley is often used as a metonym for the CIA.

Langley is also the setting for the American animated television series American Dad!, where it is named Langley Falls; it serves as the residence of the Smith family, as well as the workplace of Stan Smith.
