Lattingtown, New York

Template:Infobox settlement
The **Incorporated Village of Lattingtown** is a village located within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York, United States. The population was 1,739 at the 2010 census. This area of marsh along the coast was occupied by a band of Lenape, known as the Matinecock, a name associated with the place.

The Matinecock sold the area in 1660 to Richard Latting and his son, Josiah Latting. The Lattings sold marsh reeds for use in thatched-roof houses. The same family later established the hamlet of Lattingtown at Marlborough, Ulster County, New York, north of Manhattan.

The 1986 film *The Money Pit* was filmed partially in Lattingtown.
