Layang-Layang is a town in Kluang District, Johor, Malaysia. It is situated within the parliamentary constituency of Simpang Renggam.

It is located approximately 72 km north of Johor Bahru and 32 km south of Kluang.

It was developed in the early 20th century and became one of the Chinese new villages during the military conflict between Malaya Communists and the Britain colonial government.

Until the 1990s, Layang-Layang's major community was Chinese, but it is gradually transforming to a Malay major community following the outflow of the Chinese young generation, who commonly have a trend of settling in cities such as Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore for higher income and better opportunities.^{[citation needed]}
