Linton is a suburb of Palmerston North, situated 11km south-west of the city.

The Linton Military Camp, the largest army camp in New Zealand, was built in 1945 3.5 kilometres to the south-east of Palmerston North. It became the country’s second largest base in 1985 when the permanent force at Singapore was relocated there. More units have transferred from Auckland and Waioru. It features a community library, which is available to the local community.

Manawatu Prison is also located in Linton.
