Walton C. Ament (January 7, 1907 - January 23, 1968) was an attorney and film executive who produced Frank Buck's film Jungle Cavalcade. Ament was an outspoken champion of newsreels. "The newsreel has not lost its vitality. It is not obsolescent. Never has it been more important," he wrote in 1944. In 1946 Ament received a plaque from the War Activities Committee for voluntary war services.
