Hayton is a small village and civil parish in Cumbria, England, roughly 8 miles (13 km) east of Carlisle, and 10 miles (16 km) from the England/Scotland border.

There is a separate settlement named Hayton within Cumbria near Aspatria.

In the church are a number of memorials to the Graham family of Edmond Castle.

Edmond Castle, a mile from the village, is thought to date from earlier than the 17th century.
