Lynton is a townsite in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

[4] Lynton is situated at the mouth of the Hutt River, 7.6 kilometres (4.7 miles) by road from Gregory – between the larger towns of Northampton and Kalbarri.

The supervisor of the depot, Captain H. A. Sanford, had a residence constructed in the area during 1853 and named it Lynton.

[6] The convict hiring depot was moved to Champion Bay (Geraldton) in 1857.

The adjoining townsite of Pakington (later renamed Gregory), was gazetted around the same time.
