Ditton is a suburb of the unitary authority of Slough, Berkshire in South East England.

It is also covered by the M4 and the Queen Mary Reservoir.

It was a hamlet in the parish of Stoke Poges. It was a separated part of the parish lying about 2 miles to the south west with the parishes of Upton and Langley Marish intervening.

It is most famous for being the location of the Manor of Ditton and Ditton Park. It was at Ditton Park in 1935 that the idea for the development of the British Radar Defence System was conceived.

It was transferred to Berkshire from Buckinghamshire in 1974.
