William Carlton (22 May 1876 – 23 December 1959) was an Australian cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Victoria, Auckland and Canterbury between 1898 and 1914.[1]
In 1909 the Australian Test player Hugh Trumble, having been asked by the Canterbury Cricket Association to find a coach, chose Carlton. As well as being an accomplished cricketer, Carlton was also a baseball and football player and a sprinter.[2] He remained with Canterbury for three seasons before returning to Melbourne. He was one of the leading batsmen in New Zealand in 1909-10, with 238 runs in four matches at an average of 39.66[3] and a highest score of 88 not out, the highest score of the match, for Canterbury against Auckland in the Plunket Shield.[4]
