Chamlang is a mountain in the Nepalese Himalayas, near Makalu. It lies in the southern section of the Mahalangur subrange of the Himalayas. Chamlang has an elevation of {{convert|7319|m|ft|0}}.

In 2021 a new, direct line up the sheer north face was climbed by two French mountain guides, Charles Dubouloz and Benjamin Vedrines. Climbing just as a pair, the route, which they named 'In the Shadow of Lies', took them four days to complete and included ice up to 90°.{{cite web |last1=Benavides |first1=Angela |title=Interview with Charles Duvouloz: A New Route On Chamlang |url=https://explorersweb.com/2021/10/19/interview-with-charles-duvouloz-a-new-route-on-chamlang/ |website=Explorersweb |access-date=20 October 2021 |date=19 October 2021}}
