Luton Shelton (born on November 11, 1985) is a football player from Jamaica and is currently playing as a striker for Sheffield United in the English Premier league.

Shelton is an extremely quick player with a great sense of finding the net, who joined Helsingborgs IF from the Jamaican club Harbour View for approximately £100,000. During the 2006 season, he scored 9 goals in 19 games (1 goal more than Henrik Larsson who played 15 times) in the Swedish Allsvenskan despite playing only irregularly due to repeated injuries. Whilst at the club he has scored a total of 17 goals in 28 competitive matches, including 5 goals in 4 Swedish Cup matches on the way to Helsingborg's victory in the competition. His 120th minute winning goal versus to-be league champions IF Elfsborg in the quarterfinal (4-3) and the 1-0 goal in the final versus Gefle IF are memorable events for Helsingborg fans.

Shelton transferred to Sheffield United on a three and a half year contract for a fee of £1.85 million on January 15, 2007 and was officially unveiled by club on 24 January 2007.

Shelton has been capped eleven times for Jamaica, scoring 2 goals.
