Tan-Tan (Arabic: طانطان) is a city in southern Morocco. It is a desert town with a small population, with only few claims to fame:
- The nearby port, Tan-Tan Plage, or Port of Tan-Tan, about 25 kilometres away from Tan-Tan itself
- Discovery of the figurine Venus of Tan-Tan in a river terrace deposit on the north bank of the Draa River
- American Tony Award-winning actor and game show host Larry Blyden died at the age of 49 in an automobile accident whilst driving to Tan-Tan to shop for native jewelry on 6 June 1975, seventeen days before he would have reached the age of 50.
