Paloh is a small town in the Kluang district of Johor, Malaysia. It has a rather balanced population of Chinese, Malays and Indians. This town is located 35 kilometers away from Kluang and about 32 kilometers away from Yong Peng.

The town's main activity is the cultivation of oil palms and rubber trees. A KTM Intercity railway station is located in this town, and it is linked to Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Singapore via the North South Line.

During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) the town was considered a "black area" of communist terrorists and sympathizers.
