Pearl Iris Panton (née Gannon; 6 September 1921 – 2014) was a British tennis player.

Panton, a Surrey county representative, was the elder sister of tennis player Joy Mottram.[3]

On her Wimbledon debut in 1946, Panton made the third round of the singles, losing to Doris Hart. She continued to feature at Wimbledon until 1960 without again reaching that stage.[4]

In 1956 she beat Christine Truman in the final of the Surrey Hard Court Championships in Roehampton.[5]

By the end of the war she had married Robert Panton, a Lieutenant who served in the Pacific.[6] The couple had a baby born in 1949, which they named Joy.[7]

Panton died in Merton, London in 2014, at the age of 92.[8]
