Larton is a hamlet near the town of West Kirby, on the Wirral Peninsula, in Merseyside, England.

Larton is located to the north west of the village of Frankby and east of Newton, to which it was historically linked as a combined township.

The name is of Viking origin, deriving from the Old Norse Leir-tún, meaning "clay farmstead".

[2][3] Larton was previously combined with the nearby hamlet of Newton as Newton cum Larton, part of West Kirby parish of the Wirral Hundred, in the county of Cheshire.

[4] The population of the former Newton cum Larton civil parish had risen to 66 by 1891.
