Gunton is an unincorporated community located 40 km (25 mi) north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in the Rural Municipality of Rockwood.

It has no major industry, as most residents work in Winnipeg or nearby communities.

[2] The community's origin can be traced to 1904, when Donald Gunn started a limestone quarry on the south side of the current community's location.

[2] At one time when the quarry was operating it employed hundreds of people and the town had a population of approximately 3,000.

[1] In 1905, a post office with the name "Gunview" was opened, then name was changed to Gunton in 1906.
