Robert Francis Foster (Roy) Felton (12 August 1918 – 24 April 1982) was an English footballer.
Felton played for Everton before joining Port Vale in June 1938. He played ten league and two cup games before being called up for military training in August 1939. During the war he guested for Bath City, but returned to Vale safely in August 1945. Injuries limited his appearances however and he only managed to play seven war league, five FA Cup and three war cup games before refusing new terms in the summer of 1946.
