Compton or Compton Gifford is a suburb of Plymouth, in the ceremonial county of Devon, England.
Once a small village, it was developed in the 1930s and now lies between the suburbs of Peverell Mannamead and Efford. There are two parts, Higher and Lower Compton named after two farms and now distinguished by their respective public houses.
Although essentially infill development between older larger areas, Compton is distinctive in character.
