William Havon Bruton (November 9, 1925 – December 5, 1995) was a Major League Baseball (MLB) center fielder who played for the Milwaukee Braves (1953–1960) and Detroit Tigers (1961–1964).

Bruton had replaced former National League's 1950 Rookie of the Year winner and first African-American player on the Braves, Sam Jethroe, on the roster.

Bruton did not play in the 1957 World Series, which the Braves won in seven games, due to a knee injury sustained earlier in the season.

In December 1960, Bruton was traded to the Detroit Tigers, along with Dick Brown, Chuck Cottier and Terry Fox for a player to be named later and Frank Bolling.

A line-drive hitter and a fleet-footed runner, Bruton led the National League in stolen bases for three consecutive seasons (1953 through 1955), twice in triples (1956 and 1960), and once in runs scored (1960).
