Carlton Auditorium built in 1954 is an historic building on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, in the United States. It was designed by Guy Fulton in a "Subtle classical style" and is joined to Walker Hall by a breezeway. It seats 680 and was used as a University College lecture hall. In 1970, it was renamed for William G. Carlton, longtime professor of history and social sciences known for the colorful presentation of his freshman "American Institutions" lectures. [McCarthy, Kevin M., and Laurie, Murray D., "Guide to the University of Florida and Gainesville, 1977, Sarasota: Pineapple Press, p 141]

In 2008 Carlton Auditorium became a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.
