The meridian 135° east of Greenwich is a line of longitude[1] that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Australasia, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.

The 135th meridian east forms a great ellipse with the 45th meridian west, meaning it is a quarter away from the 180th meridian and 3 quarters from the 0th meridian.
