Witton Gilbert (pronounced 'Jilbert') is a village and civil parish in the City of Durham, County Durham, England. It is situated to the north-west of Durham.

The village once had a railway station on the Lanchester Valley Line, but this was closed in the early 1960s, with passenger service withdrawn in the late 1930s. However, the station building survives as a private residence, along with one of the platforms.
