Tai Lam Tunnel (Chinese: 大欖隧道) is a tunnel in Hong Kong that forms part of the Tsing Long Highway of Route 3. It links Pat Heung and Ting Kau in the western New Territories.
The tunnel was constructed to ease traffic congestion on the Tuen Mun Road, in Tate's Cairn Tunnel, and on Castle Peak Road. It also links traffic directly from New Territories West to urban areas of Kowloon West and Hong Kong Island, as well as Hong Kong International Airport and the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals.
