Bishopton is a village in the borough of Darlington and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated to the west of Stockton-on-Tees. It originated as a farming community with rows of cottages and several farms forming a long wide village street, with an adjacent green. St Peter's Church stands at the centre of the village. There is an early, late 13th century, internal window in the church.
A fortification known as Castle Hill is situated just outside the village, although there is no remaining castle. The mound is rumoured to be sinking.
Bishopton Beck flows round the village. The hamlet of Little Stainton and the village of Great Stainton were formerly part of the parish of Bishopton.
