Taraklı, formerly known as Dablar is a municipality and district of Sakarya Province, Turkey. Its area is 292 km2, and its population is 6,894 (2022). It is a historic town, surrounded by forest and located approximately midway between Istanbul and Ankara. The district governor is Burak Serttaş, and the mayor is İbrahim Pilavcı (MHP).

A former member of the Cittaslow movement, Tarakli features cobblestone streets and architecture dating back to the Ottoman Empire. The town has undergone extensive renovations and has gained attention as a tourist destination. A local bazaar offers handmade crafts like wooden combs and spoons. Nearby attractions include thermal springs, the Karagöl Plateau, and Hark Canyon and Cave.
