Temerloh is a town in Central Pahang, Malaysia in Temerloh district. Located about from Kuala Lumpur along the Kuantan-Kuala Lumpur trunk road , Temerloh is the second largest town in Pahang after Kuantan. It is situated at the junction of the Pahang River and the Semantan River. The district consists of two areas, the Municipal Council Area (64.08%) and the outer Municipal Council Area (35.92%). Today, "Temerloh" usually refers to the territory under the administration of Temerloh Municipal Council or ''Majlis Perbandaran Temerloh'', which includes the smaller towns adjacent to the city such as Mentakab, Lanchang, Kuala Krau and Kerdau. Temerloh district is bordered by Maran district on the east, Bentong on the west, Jerantut on the north, and Bera on the south.
An old town with some colonial buildings and shop houses, the town has prospered in recent years as a transportation hub and new industrial center. There have been many new commercial and industrial hub built in Temerloh in recent years. Cutting travel time in half, the newly completed East Coast Expressway links the town to Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan and adds to the growth of Temerloh.

Patin ('' Pangasius sp.''), a type of freshwater catfish is a local delicacy highly sought after in the country. Patin fish is famous for its juicy taste and can be considered one of the best freshwater fish in Malaysia and world.
==Etymology==
As it is situated at the junction of two rivers, the town is once called "Kuala Semantan" (literally: Semantan River Confluence). The name Temerloh was derived from the Malay word ''mereloh'' meaning sleep. It is said that "Temerloh" came about when a group of Minangkabau settlers, who came to settle at the place, noticed an Orang Asli (aborigine) who slept (''mereloh'') all through the day without a care in the world. Perhaps as a mark of amazement on such lazy conduct and perhaps for lack of other names to give, or probably just in jest, he then called his settlement there as "Temerloh". Another more plausible theory claims the town's name is derived from the sleep place of orang asli which is called ''Tempat Mereloh''. As the word ''Tempat Mereloh'' is hard to pronounce, the Minangkabau settlers shortened it to "Temerloh" as it is easier to pronounce.
