Craig Harris Carton (born January 31, 1969) is an American radio and television personality. He was the co-host of the Carton and Roberts sports radio program on WFAN in New York City, and is seen nationally on Fox Sports 1 as host of Breakfast Ball weekday mornings. He previously co-hosted Boomer and Carton on WFAN and later CBS Sports Network from 2007 to 2017.

During its 10-year run, Boomer and Carton became the most listened to show in WFAN history, placing first among men ages 25–54. In September 2017, Carton resigned from the program and WFAN after his arrest for securities and wire fraud. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison, and after serving 12 months, he was released to home confinement in 2020 and completed his sentence in 2021. He satisfied his 3 years of court ordered probation in June 2024.

Four months after his release from prison in 2020, he was rehired by WFAN, for which he hosted the number-one rated afternoon-drive program with Evan Roberts. Carton became only the second broadcaster to ever host the number-one show in both morning and afternoon drive, after Howard Stern. Carton also hosts a podcast and public service show called Hello, My Name Is Craig dedicated to helping listeners with gambling addiction and other issues. Carton was inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Association's Hall of Fame in October 2024.
