Chalabianlu (ČALABĪĀNLŪ) (چلبیانلو) is a Turkic tribe dwelling, for the most part, in the Garamduz District of Arasbaran region in East Azerbaijan Province of Iran. In the wake of Russo-Persian War (1804–13) Chalabianlu was the second largest tribe of Arasbaran with 1500 tents and houses. In 1960, the tribe comprised 1,974 households and, by then, nearly all the tribesmen were sedentary.

The tribe's fame is due to their notorious headman in early twentieth century, Rahimkhan Chalabianloo, who fought on the royalist side during Persian Constitutional Revolution.
