The Reverend Albert Kato Reiton was an American Protestant missionary.

He married Edna Greer Reiton on November 15, 1909 and the next month they founded the South China Peniel Holiness Mission in Hong Kong. Edna Greer died in Kobe en route to the USA for medical treatment in January 1912 and in January 1913 Reiton married Rose Etta Femmer. The couple returned to Hong Kong in March to work as evangelists. In November 1914 they opened the Yaumati Peniel Misson in Kowloon.

Reiton and his wife were in Kowloon with their daughter, her husband Robert Hammond, and their grandaughter Edith during the 1941 hostilities. After a period spent in hiding the family were interned in Stanley Camp and repatriated in late June 1942.
