Ayton is a community in the municipality of West Grey, Grey County, Ontario, Canada.
Formerly the seat of local government for the disbanded Normanby Township, it is best described as a rural village nestled on the banks of the South Saugeen River and the centre of a prosperous farming area.
Although mostly a farming community, Ayton does have an arena, LCBO Outlet, tavern, Lutheran church and a public school. The old water powered mill, in the heart of the town, has a new career producing hydro for the grid instead of grist for the farmer. Ayton is the home of Fisher Poultry, Domm Construction, PM Graphics, and Filsingers Organic Foods some of several major industries in West Grey.
Located on the intersection of Grey Road 3 and Grey Road 9, Ayton is geographically south of Hanover, southwest of Durham, and a neighbour to Neustadt.
