Hayton of Corycus (also Hethum, Het'um, and variants; in Armenian known as "Hethum the Historian" ; c. 1240 – c. 1310/1320) was a medieval Armenian nobleman, monk and historiographer.

Hayton is the author of ("Flower of the Histories of the East";[1] ), a historiographical work about the history of Asia, especially about the Muslim conquests and the Mongol invasion, which he dictated at the request of Pope Clement V in 1307, while he was at Poitiers. The Old French original text was recorded by one Nicolas Faulcon, who also prepared a Latin translation. The work was widely disseminated in the Late Middle Ages and was influential in shaping western European views of the Orient.
