Dalton-on-Tees is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, near the boundary with County Durham.

To the east the village overlooks a meander of the River Tees, from which it derives its name: the town (tun) in the valley (or dæl [dale]).

[7] Dalton on Tees, at one time described as a township, lies in the Parish of Croft, was referred to in various publications in the early 1820s and appears in the 1861 census.

[11] Some years ago a Romano-British villa complex was unearthed and explored in the fields near Chapel House Farm on the edge of the village.

[12] During 2018, as part of a Community Archaeology project under the Tees Valley Landscape Partnership, a Roman fort or camp was discovered near Dalton-on-Tees.
