Piddletown is an extinct town in Ralls County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.

The community took its name from nearby Piddletown School.[1] According to tradition, the schoolhouse was named after a local family who often were seen doing nothing or "piddling".[2] The Piddletown School is now defunct.[3]
