William Halton (19 January 1837 – 24 April 1885) was an English first-class cricketer.

Halton made his debut in first-class cricket for a combined Yorkshire and Durham cricket team against Nottinghamshire at Stockton-on-Tees in 1858.[1] He made two first-class appearances in 1861 for a United England Eleven against an All England Eleven.[1] In the same season he made his debut for Yorkshire against Surrey at Sheffield, as well as playing for a combined Yorkshire with Stockton-on-Tees cricket team against Cambridgeshire.[1] His final three first-class appearances all came for Yorkshire in 1862.[1] Playing in eight first-class matches, Halton scored 112 runs at an average of 10.18, with a high score of 19 not out.[2]

Halton kept an inn in Stockton-on-Tees in the 1860s. After his first wife died, he moved with his second wife to Blackburn, where he worked as a labourer. He died of bronchitis in April 1885.[3]
