Wellington est un bourg du Somerset, en Angleterre, à 10 km au sud-ouest de Taunton. Elle compte 13 696 habitants.
Wellington a donné son nom au duc de Wellington, Arthur Wellesey, vainqueur de la bataille de Waterloo. Un obélisque situé sur la colline surplombant Wellington a été érigé à sa mémoire.
La principale industrie de la ville fut longtemps la fabrication de laine, tenue notamment par la famille Fox. Aujourd'hui, l'industrie joue encore un rôle important dans l'économie avec la fabrication d'aérosols.
