Tilla Jogian (; , meaning "hill of jogis "), also known as Balnath Tilla or Gorakh Tilla, is an abandoned Hindu temple and monastic complex located on the summit of the Tilla Jogian mountain in the Salt Range in the Jhelum district of Punjab province, Pakistan. Several temple structures exist at the site, albeit in a dilapidated and deteriorating condition.
The complex was the most important centre for Hindu jogis in Punjab prior to 1947, and had housed hundreds of ascetics. and that Akbar expressed marvel at the site's old age. The complex was quickly rebuilt following Abdali's defeat.

During the British Raj, the local deputy commissioner built a bungalow at the site, having been attracted to the site for its cooler weather. The mahant of Tilla Jogian was considered the head of all the Kanphatas of the Nath Sampardya. When riots erupted after Partition, Samandnath Jogi reportedly appointed a local village official as caretaker of the site, and instructed him to approach the deputy commissioner to auction off the temple's belongings if the Jogi did not return from India within six months.

Tilla Jogian is mentioned in the Punjabi poem Heer Ranjha, written by Waris Shah in 1766. Deedho Ranjha, the story's protagonist, who when spending his time on the rebound from heartbreak, sublimating his love and passion in the spiritual world, came here for consolation to his former love. He had his ears pierced here, following the tradition of Guru Goraknath's followers.
Site layout
Tilla Jogian comprises a complex of Hindu temples housing at least three baths and a network of waterworks with at least two minor dams. Near the top is an old stone pathway named the Poorhiwaala Rah which leads to the temples, after passing the Ratti Banni ravine. As of 2012, the site has become overgrown by olive trees, resulting in a gradual destruction of the site.thumb|Photograph of the Mahant of the Tilla Jogian complex in 1924, possibly Pir Kalla Nath
