Tullylinton is a townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the barony of Clogher and the civil parish of Errigal Keerogue and covers an area of 176 acres.[1]

The name derives from the Irish: Tulaigh Linton (Linton's hill) or tulaigh lanntain (Hill of the commons).[2]

In 1841 the population of the townland was 99 people (13 houses) and in 1851 it was 60 people (13 houses).[3]

The excavation of the site of a standing stone (grid ref:H610586) before the removal of the site, found no trace of a socket or ancient activity.[4]
