太平（Taiping）是马来西亚霹雳州的一个市镇，2011年的人口为217647人。有老街之称如马六甲市，全国最古老的博物院是坐落在这里。

“太平”来自中文的字面意思是永远平安，是马来西亚最古老的市镇之一。旧称是拉律，早期是华人矿工帮派血腥争斗的地方。英国殖民政府在平定这些纷争之后，将之改名为“太平”。太平在早期因锡矿而发展起来，曾是霹雳州的首府，但在1937年被怡保所取代。太平也被称为“雨城”，因为当地的雨量比起马来西亚的其他地方多一倍，这里也因有许多座山脉。

太平位于怡保以北95公里处，是马来西亚各州属之间，最早拥有湖滨公园、动物园及博物馆的一个地方。2011年开始，太平市发展的越来越快，人口也一直增加当中。
