William Morris (fonetski Vilijam Moris; Waltham Forest, London 1834 – Hammersmith and Fulham, London, 1896) je bio engleski slikar, arhitekt, pjesnik i obnovitelj primenjenih umetnosti, centralna figura pokreta Arts and Crafts.
Morris je na početku bio blizak prerafaelitima, u industrijalizaciji je video veliku pretnju i postavio je sebi cilj da umjetničke zanate obnovi kao prave zanatske umjetnosti u duhu srednjeg vijeka. Za tu svrhu osnovao je 1861. radionice umetničkih zanata. U njima su se proizvodili tepisi, parketi, tapete, namještaj, pa čak i kompletna oprema stana. Zajedno sa Ford Madox Brownom, Danteom Gabrijelom Rosetijem, E. B. Jonesom između ostalog skicirao je dekorativne tapete za uređenje stana. Otkad je osnovao štampariju Kelmscott Press oživio je i umjetnost opremanja knjige. Time je postao vodeća figura secesije u engleskoj (Modern style).
