William "Billy" Walton (16 May 1961 - 18 November 2012) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.

Contents

Born in Kilkenny, Walton first played competitive hurling during his schooling at St. Kieran's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1981–82 National Hurling League. Walton went on to play a minor role for Kilkenny for just one season, and won one a set of All-Ireland and Leinster medals as a non-playing substitute, as well as a National Hurling League medal.

At club level Walton was a one-time All-Ireland medallist with James Stephens. In addition to this he also won one Leinster medal and one championship medal.

Walton's father, Tom, enjoyed All-Ireland success with Kilkenny in 1947.

For over twenty years Walton acted as selector and manager of a host of underage and adult teams, as well as serving as juvenile coaching officer with James Stephens.
