Baklan is a town and a district of Denizli Province, in Turkey's Aegean Region. The town is at a distance of about an hour from the city of Denizli, neighboring the town of Çivril, and it is situated on the road to Ankara.

The town is alternatively called Dedeköy, a name which was its official appellation in some periods in the past. The name "dede" makes reference to the 13th century Seljuk warrior Alp Eren Hüsamettin Gazi, whose tomb is within the town. A township depending Çal district until 1990, it was made into a district at that time. A large part of the district is covered by the high plain that carries the same name as the town, Baklan Plain, and the town itself is situated on the slopes of the district's only mountain, Beşparmak, 1307 m. high.

The economy is largely based on agriculture.
