Edward Grantham Righton (23 November 1884 – 3 January 1964) was an English first-class cricketer who played four matches for Worcestershire between 1911 and 1913.

Although he had appeared for Worcestershire's Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship as early as 1907,^[1] Righton made his first-class debut in July 1911, playing against Leicestershire at Worcester. It proved to be by far the most successful of his four games at this level: Righton hit a first-innings 48 and took his only first-class wicket, that of England Test cricketer Albert Knight.^[2] He did nothing in his three subsequent games, other than to hold a catch to dismiss Thomas Langdon in his final match, against Gloucestershire in June 1913.^[3]

His son Edward (also, in fact, named Edward Grantham Righton) also played four times for Worcestershire, in the mid-1930s.
