The purpose of this research was to study the population and habitat of javan langur at Pananjung Pangandaran Nature Reserve. Observation had been done in June-July 2013. Population density of javan langur was estimated using line transect sampling method. Population density of javan langur in Pangandaran Nature Reserve was divided based on location of observation: Karang Pandan, Tadah Angin, and Cikamal. Karang Pandan has the highest density with 8ndividulas/ha, followed by Cikamal with 4 individuals/ha, and Tadah Angin with 2 individuals/ha. The existence of javan langur in Pangandaran Nature Reserve was supported by its habitat, including the vegetation. There were some trees that become the feeding tree of javan langur, the most frequently eaten by javan langur were Ficus sumatrana and Vitex pubescens
