Waltalingen was a small town in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland. It was located in the Andelfingen district. On January 1, 2019, Waltalingen joined with two other towns, Oberstammheim and Unterstammheim, to form a new, larger town called Stammheim. So, Waltalingen is no longer its own separate municipality.
