Wheelton is a village and civil parish of the Borough of Chorley, in Lancashire, England.

There are two communities: Wheelton, which is close to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and borders Whittle-le-Woods; and Higher Wheelton which is located on the road from Chorley to Blackburn.

It is one of the more affluent parts of Lancashire owing to easy motorway access and a semi rural setting.

[citation needed] Wheelton Clock Tower is set in a garden at the centre of the village commemorating the men of Heapey and Wheelton who fell in the Great War in 1914–1918.

The Grade II Listed memorial is made from local stone and was unveiled in 1922.
