John Henry Norton (31 December 1855 − 22 March 1923) was an Australian Roman Catholic bishop.

Ordained to the priesthood on 8 April 1882, Norton was named bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Port Augusta, Australia in 1906 and died in 1923 while still in office.[1] He worked assiduously to develop his far-flung diocese.[2]
