Paul Thomas Barton (born 9 October 1935 in Wellington) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played in 7 Tests from 1961 to 1963.
A batsman who usually came in at number three or four, Barton played his provincial cricket for Wellington with moderate success, but marked his Test debut on tour against South Africa in Durban with a fine half century. His other Test innings of note came in the final game of the same series, when he made 109 in Port Elizabeth. This promising first series, 240 runs at 30.00, cemented his place in the Test team against England in 1962-63 but he made only 43 runs in the three Tests and was not selected again.
He played for Wellington from 1954-55 to 1967-68. His highest score was 118 against Auckland in 1960-61.
