Langley is a census-designated place (CDP) in Aiken County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 1,447 at the 2010 census. It is bordered by Gloverville to the northeast and Burnettown to the west.

Langley is part of the Augusta, Georgia metropolitan area. Langley is located in historic Horse Creek Valley. It sits next to the Langley pond. The town was named Langley in March 1870, at a meeting of the Board of Directors for the Langley Manufacturing Company in nearby Hamburg. The name was chosen in honor of William C. Langley of Brooklyn, New York, the company's principal stockholder. The original name was Kalmia, after the Kalmia Mills, purchased by Langley and several other stockholders. This was reported in the Augusta Chronicle in March 1870. According to Who Was Who in America, William C. Langley was a shrewd and astute 19th-century businessman who amassed a fortune in the textile industry.
