Tyalgum is a rural village located in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. At the time of the 2021 census, Tyalgum had a population of 521 people.
By road, Tyalgum is located approximately 26 kilometres (16 mi) west of Murwillumbah, 70 kilometres (43 mi) from the Gold Coast, and 130 kilometres (81 mi) from Brisbane.
Tyalgum is situated at the junction of the Pumpenbil and Tyalgum creeks, which provide Tyalgum with its water supply. During early years of settlement, these waterways would have been used to transport giant red cedar logs that were felled in the area. Other natural features include the valley environment around the village, created by the Border Ranges and Mount Warning.
As of 2016, there are plans for Tyalgum to disconnect from the electricity grid and produce renewable power locally, primarily using solar power and battery storage.
