Homer H. Norton (December 30, 1896 - May 26, 1965) was a highly successful college football head coach. He coached at Centenary College of Louisiana for 10 years total. From 1934 to 1947, he coached at Texas A&M University and compiled an 82-53-9 record. That number gives him the second most wins in Texas A&M history. [cite web | url=http://www.aggieathletics.com/index2.php?SID=MFB&pageID=185 | title=All-Time Coaching Leaders (by wins) | publisher=aggieathletics.com | accessdate=2007-01-04 | language=English | format=HTML] His 1939 Texas A&M team went undefeated at 11-0 and won the national championship. His career record stands at 141-73-18. He was fired in 1947, when his team went 3-8, and lost to Texas for the eighth straight year.

He played four different sports at Birmingham-Southern College, and played minor league baseball prior to becoming a head coach.

Norton was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971.
