Teulada (Valencian: [tewˈlaða]; Spanish: [tewˈlaða]) is a small coastal town on Spain's Costa Blanca, located 3 km north from Junction 63 of the A7 E-15 toll motorway on the N-332 coast road.

Setting it apart from its coastal neighbours of Calp and further south, Benidorm, the town council passed laws limiting the height of buildings and protecting the natural pines that cover the sides of the valley leading to the coastal part of the municipality, Moraira.
