Talaton is a village and a civil parish in the English county of Devon.

The parish covers an area of 965 hectares (2,384 acres).

[1] The name Talaton (Taletone in Domesday Book, 1086)[2] means 'farmstead on the River Tale', a tributary of the River Otter, whose name is in turn derived from the Old English word getæl meaning 'quick, active or swift'.

The village day starts with the Talaton Trotter, a 6.5 mile cross country race.
