Carolus Luython o Charles Luython (Anversa, 1557 – Praga, 2 agosto 1620) è stato un compositore e organista fiammingo. Luython fu uno degli ultimi compositori della 5ª generazione della scuola franco-fiamminga. Scrisse musica vocale e per organo, religiosa e profana, quest'ultima in particolare su testi di poeti latini. Una buona parte delle sue composizioni (Messe, odi latine, mottetti, brani per organo, etc.) ci è giunta sia in forma stampata che manoscritta.
