The Talbot Trail is an historically significant overland route completed in the 1820s in Ontario, Canada, near the north shore of Lake Erie. The building of the route of almost 300 miles (500 kilometres) in length was overseen by Colonel Thomas Talbot. It was originally a corduroy road which eventually became Kings Highway 3.

It is one of the Ontario tourist routes, leading from Windsor, Ontario, through Leamington, Ontario, Wheatley, Blenheim, St. Thomas, down along county roads before re-joining the highway in Tillsonburg. The road then travels forth along Highway 3 towards Delhi, Simcoe, Jarvis, and Cayuga before ending in Dunnville.
