Mutlangen is a town in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, in Ostalbkreis district. As of 1 August 2007, Mutlangen has 6,548 inhabitants.

The Mutlanger Heide, a heathland nearby, was the site of a US military base for Pershing II missiles, which were eliminated following the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1990. Mutlangen has since then been a site of peace and antinuclear activism. The former missile base has been completely demolished and now is a residential zone.
