Williton Rural District was located in Somerset, England, from 1894 to 1974. It was created under the Local Government Act 1894. It covers almost 100,000 acres (40,468 hectares or 156.2 sq mi) from the Somerset border with Devon to the approximate centre of the county and from the Bristol Channel south to Dulverton Rural District.

In 1974 it was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 when it became part of the non-metropolitan West Somerset District. In 2019, for economic reasons, the West Somerset District joined with Taunton Deane District to become the Somerset West and Taunton District.

Williton Rural District surrounds the urban districts of Minehead (#M) and Watchet (#W).

Only the map covering the civil parish under discussion will be shown on the parish pages.
