Ritchie Aidan Sutton (born 29 April 1986) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for National League side Tranmere Rovers. He can operate as a centre-back or a full-back.

Beginning his career at Crewe Alexandra, he never made the first team, and instead enjoyed loan spells at non-league Leek Town and Stafford Rangers. He was released by Crewe in 2007. He returned to the non-league scene with Northwich Victoria, Halifax Town and Nantwich Town. In summer 2010 he signed with Port Vale, before making the switch to Mansfield Town the following year. He won the Conference National title with Mansfield in 2012–13 and won the club's Player of the Season award in 2014–15. He moved to Tranmere Rovers in May 2015, and was loaned out to Barrow in March 2016.

Sutton started as a youth team player at Crewe Alexandra, turning professional in the summer of 2005. His first season was spent on two separate loan spells at local side Leek Town, of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. In March 2006 he joined another local non-league side, Stafford Rangers, on loan. Rangers achieved promotion from the Conference North through the play-offs at the end of the season.
