Delting is a civil parish and community council area on Mainland, Shetland, Scotland. It includes the Sullom Voe oil terminal and its main settlements are Brae, Mossbank and Voe.^[1]

The parish, as described in 1882–1884, included the islands of Bigga (co-owned with the civil parish of Yell), Fishholm, Brother Isle, Little Roe, and Muckle Roe; of these only Muckle Roe was at that time inhabited. The landward area "varies in breadth from 3 to 6 miles, being much intersected by voes or arms of the sea".^[2] Brae House, an early 1800s Shetland merchant's house and a B-rated building, is located in Delting.^[3]

Sullom Voe, the location of the Sullom Voe oil terminal and Shetland Gas Plant is an inlet of the North Sea between the parishes of Delting and Northmavine.^[4]^[5]
