Poulton is an area of the town of Wallasey, in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside, England.

The name is Old English in origin and derives from pōl, meaning "pool" and tún, "a farm or settlement".

Poulton is part of the Wallasey parliamentary constituency and represented since 1992 by Angela Eagle, a Labour Party MP.

At local government level, the area is predominantly within the Seacombe Ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.

Some of the former trackbed of the Wirral Railway branch to Seacombe was used as the approach road to the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel,[5] providing a connection from the M53 motorway to the west of Poulton.
