Byron King Mouton (born April 29, 1978) is an American retired basketball player. He was a starter on the University of Maryland's 2002 national championship team and played professionally in several countries.
Mouton, a 6'6" swingman from Rayne, Louisiana, originally committed to play basketball at the University of Kentucky, but opted out of his commitment after Wildcats coach Rick Pitino left to coach the Boston Celtics in 1997. Instead, he opted for Tulane. After two seasons at Tulane, Mouton transferred to Maryland to play for coach Gary Williams. In his junior year of 2000–01, Mouton started and averaged 9.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game as the Terrapins advanced to the Final Four of the 2001 NCAA tournament. As a senior in 2001–02, Mouton upped his averages to 11.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game as Maryland won the 2002 NCAA championship.
