Timothy Alan Munton (born 30 July 1965 in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire) was an English cricketer. He played two Test matches for England in 1992 but struggled to make an impression and was dropped for good thereafter. A poor batsman, he averaged just above 10 in first-class cricket, with a highest score of 54 not out from 272 innings.

Munton played the bulk of his career for Warwickshire, making his first-class debut for the county against the touring Zimbabweans in 1985 with his first County Championship appearance coming a year later. He was Warwickshire's player of the season three times, including in the county's treble-winning 1994 season when he took 81 wickets.

Munton suffered badly from injury, missing half the 1995 season and all of 1997, but in both 1998 and 1999 managed to average under 20 with the ball. In 2000 he moved to Derbyshire, making his final first-class appearance in July 2001.

Munton was one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1995.
