Povlen (Повлен) is a mountain in western Serbia, located thirty kilometers west of Valjevo. It has several peaks, the three most important being Small Povlen (1347 m), Middle Povlen (1301 m) and Big Povlen (1271 m).

It belongs to the Valjevo mountain range, which form the highland west of Valjevo towards Mačva. The mountains are not very high—their highest point, Small Povlen, reaches to 1347 meters—but they are difficult to cross. Dense forests and deep river canyons hide narrow and winding roads that lead to small hamlets. In the canyon of Trešnjica under Povlen, there is a colony of griffon vultures.
