Dalton is a district of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire in England. It is situated approximately one mile southeast of the town centre between Moldgreen and Kirkheaton.

Located in a small valley it is mostly comprised of housing, with a small amount of engineering firms to the northwest, surrounded by farmland used in the production of milk.

Germaine Lindsay, one of the suicide bombers involved in the 7 July 2005 London bombings, had lived in the area following his arrival from Jamaica aged five, and attended Rawthorpe Junior School and Rawthorpe High School.[1]
