William Erwin Eisner (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 6 de marzo de 1917 - Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, 3 de enero de 2005) fue un influyente historietista estadounidense, creador del famoso personaje The Spirit en 1941 y popularizador del concepto de novela gráfica a partir de 1978. Además de su carrera como historietista, Eisner enseñó las técnicas del cómic en la Escuela de Artes Visuales de Nueva York, y escribió dos obras fundamentales acerca de su creación: El cómic y el arte secuencial (Comics and Sequential Art, 1985) y La narración gráfica (Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative, 1996). La obra de Eisner tuvo una importancia decisiva para sacar al medio de su confinamiento como medio de entretenimiento para niños y adolescentes. En su honor se crearon en 1988 los Premios Will Eisner, entregados anualmente en la Convención Internacional de Cómics de San Diego (California).
