Columbus Croxton (February 1885 – April 22, 1916) was an American Negro league pitcher in the 1900s.

A native of Mississippi, Croxton played for the Cuban Giants in 1908 and 1909. In 12 recorded games, he posted 11 hits in 36 plate appearances with a 2.79 ERA in 67.2 innings on the mound.

The small Iowa town of Grundy Center, Iowa secured Croxton as a pitcher to help finish out the 1910 season.

Croxton died in Argenta, Arkansas in 1916 at age 31.
