Donald Cameron Walton (5 April 1939 – 29 June 2023) was a South African international rugby union player.
Walton grew up in Durban and learned his rugby as a pupil at Northlands Primary School. He attended Glenwood High School and had a long association with rugby club Glenwood Old Boys.{{cite web |title=Don Walton |url=https://bokhist.com/PlayerData.aspx?PlayerID=219 |website=bokhist.com}}
A lively hooker, Walton was a regular for Natal through the 1960s and gained eight Springboks caps. He debuted in a home Test match against France in 1964 and was able to displace former captain Abie Malan as Springboks hooker during the New Zealand leg of their 1965 tour. Two weeks after appearing against England at Twickenham on their 1969–70 tour, Walton suffered a skull fracture in a minor tour match in Coventry, which proved to be career ending.{{cite news |title=England's aim – a Dutch treat |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0005765/19691105/357/0021 |work=Evening News (London) |date=5 November 1969}}{{cite news |title=Walton comfortable |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0005119/19700108/321/0011 |work=Belfast News-Letter |date=8 January 1970}}
