William John Locke (20. mart 1863 – 15. maj 1930) je bio britanski književnik, koji je uživao veliku popularnost u domovini i SAD u prvim decenijama 20. vijeka. Najpoznatija djela su mu romani The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne i The Beloved Vagabond (1906). Njegova djela su, zbog svoje sklonosti melodramatičnim i sentimentalnim zapletima, bila popularna među ranim filmašima, tako da su ekranizirana čak 24 puta.
