William Owens John Norton (c. 1820 – 25 April 1873) was an English cricketer who played in three first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club between 1853 and 1859.[1] He played once for Kent against Surrey in 1853 and twice against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1859, as well as playing regularly in other matches.[2]

Norton was born at Aylesford in Kent in 1820 and was a nephew of Alfred Mynn, a significant figure in Kent cricket during the 1840s.[1] Three cousins, Bradbury Norton, Selby Norton and William South Norton also played for Kent, the latter captaining the team between 1856 and 1870.[3] He died in Lambeth in 1873 aged 53.[1]
