Baconton is a city in Mitchell County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 856,[2] down from 915 in 2010.

It has been suggested that Baconton be twinned with the town Egginton, in South Derbyshire, England, UK. This could bring a splendid relationship between the two towns, which could result in breakfast visits to each other's towns, for the mutual benefit of the town officials.
