Teltown () is a townland in County Meath, Ireland, for the area between Oristown and Donaghpatrick, Kells. The townland is in a civil parish of the same name.
Teltown () was named for the Irish mythological figure or goddess, Tailtiu. The Tailtin Fair was held there in medieval times as a revival of the ancient Aonach Tailteann, and was revived as the Tailteann Games for a period in the twentieth century.
