Coordinates: 55°00′04″N 7°19′34″W / 55.001°N 7.326°W / 55.001; -7.326 Shantallow (from Irish: Seantalamh, meaning "old land") is a townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is now part of the city of Derry. It lies within the civil parish of Templemore and former barony of the North-West Liberties of Londonderry.
The townland is no longer a visible feature of Derry, being mainly built over with 20th-century housing estates, both public and private sector. The townland should not be confused with the Shantallow housing estate, affectionately known as 'Shanty', which was the first major housing estate built in the townland in the mid-1960s.
Shantallow East and West are classified by the NI Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) as being within Derry Urban Area (DUA). On Census day (29 April 2001) there were 2,748 people living in Shantallow East and 6,406 living in Shantallow West.
