William Henry Hickton (28 August 1884 - 8 April 1942) was an English cricketer who played five first-class matches for Worcestershire in the space of little over a month in 1909. He took only two wickets: those of Warwickshire's Charles Baker and Middlesex's Harold Wyatt.
Hickton was born in Lower Broughton, Salford; he died in Leeds at the age of 58.
His father, also named William, had a longer first-class career, playing 60 games in the 1860s and 1870s.
