Halton is a district of east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, situated between Killingbeck to the north and north-west, Halton Moor to the west, Colton to the east and Whitkirk to the north-east. Temple Newsam lies directly south of the estate.

Halton has recently suffered an increase in crime and anti-social behavior, in particular, criminal damage[1]. The neighbouring area of Halton Moor suffers from an unfortunate notoriety, with particularly high levels of crime.^{[citation needed]}

Halton was originally developed as a village, though it has been incorporated into the actual city, and is now a suburb. Housing ranges from detached houses, semi-detached houses and terraced houses.

The area is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the east of Leeds city centre and is close to the A63 dual carriageway.
