Teylingen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtɛilɪŋə(n)]) is a municipality in the province of South Holland, the Netherlands.

The municipality is bordered by Noordwijkerhout and Lisse to the north, Haarlemmermeer and Alkemade to the east, Leiderdorp and Leiden to the south, and Oegstgeest and Katwijk to the west.
