Poulton-le-Fylde (), commonly shortened to Poulton, is a market town in Lancashire, England, situated on the coastal plain called the Fylde. In the 2021–2022 United Kingdom censuses, it had a population of 18,115.
There is evidence of human habitation in the area from 12,000 years ago, and several archaeological finds from Roman settlement in England have been found in the area. At the time of the Norman Conquest, Poulton was a small agricultural settlement in the Hundred of Amounderness. The church of St Chad was recorded in 1094, when it was endowed to Lancaster Priory.
