Utkinton Hall is a former manor house near Tarporley, Cheshire. Now a farmhouse, it is built in ashlar red sandstone and originated as a large manor house for the Done family, who were the hereditary wardens of Delamere Forest. It has a mediæval core but most of it dates from the early 17th century. It was partly refaced around 1700 and again in the early 18th century for Sir John Crewe. James I visited the hall while hunting at Delamere Forest in 1617. The house formerly contained a chapel and an oval library, and the twisted baluster staircase is now at Tarporley Rectory and some armorial glass in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow. It is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
