Calton is a village and a former parochial chapelry and civil parish, now in the parish of Waterhouses, in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of Staffordshire, England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 222.[1] The chapelry contained the four parishes of Croxden, Blore, Mayfield, and Waterfall. In 1866, the four parishes became the civil parish of Calton, and on 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished to form Waterhouses.[2] The village of Calton stands in the old parish of Mayfield, along with the chapel of St Mary.[3][4]

The Peak District Boundary Walk runs through the village.[5]
