The Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX or CELLEX), also known as the Central Luzon Link Freeway, is a partially operational expressway in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. Its current eastern terminus is in Carmen-Cabanatuan Road in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija.

It is currently toll-free and exclusively open to Class 1 vehicles, but it will be tolled and opened to other classes of vehicles in the future. The untolled section from Tarlac City to La Paz is designated as the National Route 308 (N308) of the Philippine highway network.

According to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the entire Phase 1 of the expressway from Tarlac to Cabanatuan is targeted to open on July 2025 .

In the future, it will also connect the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX) to the proposed North Luzon East Expressway in Cabanatuan towards San Jose, Nueva Ecija.
