Byng is a town in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, United States.

The beginnings of the town of Byng were established in 1917 with the building of a post office and power plant (about five miles north of Ada).

The post office and power plant were named to honor the World War I exploits of British General Julian Byng who commanded the Canadian Corps and was later Governor General of Canada.

Tyrola, about a mile north of Byng, was almost wiped out by a flooding of the South Canadian River in 1914.

New Bethel, also approximately a mile north of present-day Byng, but lying east of Tyrola, had also been formed.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 6.5 square miles (17 km2), all land.
