Tanluan (, 476–554) was a Chinese Buddhist monk who wrote on Pure Land Buddhism.
Tanluan was the first East Asian Buddhist to stress the importance of the Buddha's Other Power as a liberating force. He held that through the practice of nianfo (buddha recollection), the Buddha's power would take them to the pure land after death. This doctrine would become very important in later Pure Land Buddhism.
