Lloyd Walton (born November 23, 1953) is a retired American basketball player. He grew up in Chicago Heights, Illinois and played basketball for Mount Carmel High School and Marquette University, playing for legendary Marquette coach Al McGuire.

Since retiring as a player, he has served in various volunteer and professional capacities related to prep, collegiate and professional basketball, including: Assistant Coach under Rick Majerus at Marquette University, a Regional Collegiate Scout for the New York Knicks, Assistant Coach for the LaCrosse Bobcats of the Continental League, and Assistant Coach at the NBA Pre-Draft.
