Travis Norton (born April 12, 1976 in Redcliffe, Queensland) is a former rugby league player in the National Rugby League competition.

Norton had captained the Cowboys since 2004, and has played in the 1998 (with the Bulldog's) and 2005 (Cowboys) grand finals; however, he was unsuccessful on both occasions. This spectacular lock moved to the Cowboys and then fellow Bulldog's team-mate Johnathan Thurston joined the Cowboys as well. These two really played a part in the 2005 Grand Final. Unfortunately Travis retired on a very low note in 2006 with the Cowboys not even making the Top-8.
