William John Turner
William John Turner, engleski geograf i kartograf koji je djelovao u Londonu krajem 19. vijeka.
Bio je dugogodišnjim članom Kraljevskog geografskog društva i pratilac brojnih diplomatskih misija prilikom kojih je izrađivao karte Azije, Afrike, te Južne i Sjeverne Amerike. Među njegovim poznatim suradnicima bio je i G. N. Curzon, diplomat poznat po razgraničenju Rusije odnosno Irana. Unatoč opsežnom kartografskom opusu, o njegovom životu vrlo je malo poznato.
