Wyton is a hamlet in East Riding of Yorkshire, England and is part of the civil parish of Bilton. It is situated approximately 6 miles east of Hull city centre. Wyton leads from Bilton through to Sproatley.

Wyton is a small farming village with few houses, it is used for farming because of its rich soil, and large, open space. Its history is small, but has been a village for the Amish (known as Quakers in England) back in the 17th century. There are still signs of the Quakers, such as buried ploughing machines, buried clothes and the remains of the houses (more on the Sproatley track, leading from Sproatley to Coniston).
