Walnut is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population is 32,148 and its current mayor is Tony Cartagena.

The area was once predominantly white. Upper-middle-class Asian immigrants have settled in Walnut, where they now form the majority of the population. As with other parts of the San Gabriel Valley, many immigrants are from Taiwan, but there is a growing affluent expatriate population from Hong Kong, Philippines and China as well. The growing amount of Asian-owned businesses - although Mainland Chinese noodle and dumpling eateries are represented - are not an uncommon sight in the area. Walnut is part of a small cluster of communities (along with Rowland Heights, California, Hacienda Heights, California, Diamond Bar, California, and Chino Hills, California) in the region with large concentrations of Asian Americans of Chinese decent.

In addition, Mt. San Antonio College, one of the California Community Colleges, is also located in Walnut near its border with Pomona.

One of the most notable aspects of Walnut is the Walnut Family Festival. For one day each year during the fall, several larger streets are closed in the early hours of the morning and a parade is held in which many local clubs and groups participate. Later in the afternoon, a fair with booths, games, food, and activities is held in Suzanne Park, adjacent to Suzanne Middle School.
