Great Langton is a small village in the district of Hambledon, North Yorkshire, England. The village lies on the northern bank of the River Swale and it was once known as Langton-upon-Swale.

The village is on the B6271 road, between Scorton and Northallerton.

The village church is St. Wilfrid's Church, Great Langton. There was also a Chapel of the good Shepherd, which has now been converted into a residential property.

There was once a school in great Langton but this too has closed and is now a residential property.

The village pub was known as 'The Langton Hotel' until it changed its name to 'The Wishing Well' in the 1970s. Sadly this quiet rural Pub closed in 2004.

The village is just down the road from Kiplin Hall, the stately home built by George Calvert, the founder of Maryland in the USA.
