Dipton is a small town in the Southland region of New Zealand. It is located 20 kilometres south of Lumsden and 60 kilometres north of Invercargill. From 20 October 1875 until its closure on 13 December 1982, Dipton was situated on the Kingston Branch railway.

Dipton is the birthplace of former New Zealand National Party leader and now Deputy Prime Minister, Bill English. It is also the birthplace of Todd Barclay, who succeeded English as the electorate MP for Clutha-Southland.[1]

Dipton is also close to the White Hill Wind Farm, completed in 2007 by New Zealand state-owned enterprise Meridian Energy.
