Gryton ({{langx|grc|Γρύτων}}) was a Boeotian potter who worked in the first half of the 6th century BC. He is only known by his signature on the sole of a plastic aryballos in the shape of a sandal-clad foot, which is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. A catalogue of his works was published by Raubitschek along with works of ancient Boeotian potters.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/uploads/media/hesperia/147304.pdf|title=Early Boeotian Potters|last=Raubitschek|first=A.E.|last2=Raubitschek|first2=Isabelle|website=American School of Classical Studies at Athens|access-date=February 21, 2019}} These included the Ring Aryballos, which is part of a collection of Berlin's Staatliche Museen.

An interpretation of Rudolf Wachter based on the inscriptions of Boeotian vases also identified Gryton as a name derived from γρύτα, which meant container of ointments.{{Cite web|url=http://scythianphoenix.kisbiro.hu/modules.php?name=base_topics&file=olvas&cikk=makingsense-5596beab0c14e|title=The Scythian Phoenix: Making Sense|website=scythianphoenix.kisbiro.hu|access-date=2019-02-20}}
