Hatton is a village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, England. It is located 6 km north of Burton upon Trent, 20 km west of Derby and 40 km east of Stoke-on-Trent. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was 2,785.
Hatton is about half a mile north of Tutbury, Staffordshire with the River Dove running between the two villages and creating the County boundary; the river is crossed by a listed bridge. It has a population of 2,690 and is mainly residential.
The village has excellent transport links. It is close to the A50 road which links the M1 and M6. The A50 used to pass across the northern edge of the village, but was bypassed in May 1995 by the 6 mile £19million Hatton, Hilton and Foston Bypass. The former route is now the A511, which passes through the village from Tutbury. Tutbury and Hatton railway station is on the Nottingham to Crewe line. Services are provided by East Midlands Trains. The station was originally closed in the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, but was re-opened in the 1980s (like other previously-closed rural stations) due to public demand. Local bus services are provided by Arriva who link Hatton with the market towns of Burton-upon-Trent and Uttoxeter, and Trent Barton who link with Derby and Burton-upon-Trent.
The village is within the district of South Derbyshire District Council and County of Derbyshire County Council. The local MP was Heather Wheeler in March 2015.
