Jan Antoni Kopyto (born 15 June 1934 in Goczałki) is a Polish javelin thrower. He competed at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, where he placed fifth in men's javelin throw. Shortly before the 1960 Summer Olympics he suffered a serious shoulder injury, which effectively ended his career. He later emigrated to the United Kingdom.
His personal best with the old model javelin was 83.37 metres set in 1957.
