Joshua Kirton was an English bookseller and publisher, responsible (sometimes with Thomas Warren) for the dissemination of a number of important works in the seventeenth century, including Francis Godwin's The Man in the Moone.[1] His London business in Paul's Churchyard[2] was destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire of London.[3]

Kirton's notable clients included Samuel Pepys.[3]
