Latton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Cricklade. The village is bypassed by the A419 road from Swindon to Cirencester.
The River Churn flows through the parish on its way to join the Thames north of Cricklade.
The Thames and Severn Canal also passed through the parish, connecting Stroud with the Thames at Lechlade until its closure in 1933. Near the village was a junction with the North Wilts Canal, a branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal which provided a connection to Swindon.
The Church of England parish church of St John the Baptist is a Grade I listed building.
