Kryten is the name of a character in the popular British TV series Red Dwarf, portrayed by Nottingham actor Robert Llewellyn. Kryten is a model 2X4B-523P mechanoid or "slave 'noid" -- a robotic servant -- and is quite neurotic. He is very humanoid, with the exception of the flat cubic planes visible on his face and head. Once the personal servant of three attractive female crew members of the Nova 5, he is now reduced to serving the slobbish Lister, the only surviving crew member.

In the character's first appearance, Kryten was played by actor David Ross.

The name Kryten is a reference to the head butler in the J.M. Barrie play The Admirable Crichton.
