Tanjung Rambutan is a town in the Kinta district of Perak, Malaysia. It is on the Ipoh to Butterworth railway line, Tanjung Rambutan railway station.

Hospital Bahagia, the oldest psychiatric hospital in Malaysia, is located here. Due to the presence of the mental hospital, this town is often associated with mentally ill people, especially in Ipoh. People in Ipoh used to say something when defaming and blackmailing (like the situation in the movie Sucker Punch) the person they hate like "send Person X to Tanjung Rambutan" (where "Person X" is a name of any person) to infer that the Person X must be mad and has to be sent to the mental hospital. The hospital celebrates its 100th year in 2011.
