East Saltoun and West Saltoun are villages in East Lothian, Scotland. They are approximately 5 miles south-west of Haddington and 25 miles east of Edinburgh.

East Saltoun features several historic buildings including a gothic Parish Church which dates back to 1805. West Saltoun is smaller and today is made up of just a few houses.

A former branch railway line which linked East and West Saltoun to Gifford, Haddington and ultimately Edinburgh was closed to passengers in 1933 and is now a cycle path.

Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun, the Scottish patriot was born here in 1653.
