Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton (Dungarvan, 6 de outubro de 1903 — Belfast, 25 de junho de 1995) foi um físico irlandês. Recebeu o Nobel de Física de 1951, por trabalhos pioneiros sobre transmutação de núcleos atômicos através de partícula aceleradas artificialmente.
Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton (6 October 1903 – 25 June 1995) was an Irish physicist and Nobel laureate who first split the atom. He is best known for his work with John Cockcroft to construct one of the earliest types of particle accelerator, the Cockcroft–Walton generator.
Prof. Walton’s first researches involved theoretical and experimental studies in hydrodynamics and, at the Cavendish Laboratory, he worked on indirect methods for producing fast particles, working on the linear accelerator and on what was later to become known as the betatron.
