Derrick William Barton (26 September 1923 – 11 March 2006) was a British tennis player and coach.
Born in London, Barton competed briefly on tour in the immediate post-war period, playing for the Great Britain Davis Cup team in 1946 and 1947.[1] He was a men's doubles quarter-finalist at the 1947 Wimbledon Championships and twice made the singles third round. In 1947 he moved to the United States and began a career in coaching, first serving five years in charge of the Davidson College tennis team.[2] After this he coached Southwestern (now Rhodes College) in Memphis for two decades, then went into business building and resurfacing tennis courts.[1] He was inducted into the Tennessee Tennis Hall of Fame in 1999.[3]
