William Walton (7 August 1862 – 16 February 1925) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1887.

Walton was born in Glossop, Derbyshire, the son of Matthew Walton, manager of a cotton mill, and his wife Elizabeth.[1] His father appeared in one match for Lancashire in 1867.

Walton started playing for Derbyshire in the 1887 season taking part in two non-qualifying matches before his one first-class game in July against Surrey. He was an opening batsman but made little impression.[2] Derbyshire were out of the Championship in 1888 and Walton played two more matches for them in the 1893 season.

Walton died at Glossop at the age of 62.
