Orris Kay Dalton (born May 4, 1932) is a former American and Canadian football coach.
Dalton began coaching in 1958 as Trinidad State Junior College's head coach. In 1961, he became head coach of Western State College. He had a 33–12 record at WSC, and in 1964 led the Mountaineers to the Mineral Bowl. In his five seasons as coach, he led WSC to four Rocky Mountain Conference championships.
Dalton moved to the professional ranks in 1966 as the defensive coordinator of the Montreal Alouettes. In 1967, he was promoted to head coach after Darrell Mudra resigned to coach at the University of Arizona. Dalton was fired after the 1969 season and was replaced by the team's former quarterback, Sam Etcheverry. He had a 7–31–4 record over three seasons. In 1971, he stayed in the CFL, becoming the offensive line and wide receiver coach of the BC Lions.
In 1972, Dalton returned to college football as offensive coordinator of the Colorado Buffaloes.
He returned to the pros in 1974 as the wide receivers coach for the Denver Broncos. In 1977, he joined Lou Saban's coaching staff, serving as the receivers coach of the Buffalo Bills. After not being retained by Chuck Knox, Dalton held the same position with the Kansas City Chiefs under Marv Levy, another former Alouettes coach. After Levy was fired, he moved to the Houston Oilers coaching staff as offensive coordinator under Ed Biles, Chuck Studley, and Hugh Campbell. In 1985, he rejoined Buffalo Bills as quarterbacks coach before returning to the Broncos the following season as special offensive assistant coach.
