ウィリアム・ボイス(William Boyce, 1711年9月11日 – 1779年2月7日)は、イギリスの作曲家、オルガン奏者。 ロンドン生まれ。セント・ポール大聖堂の聖歌隊にいたが、その後、声変わりをしてモーリス・グリーンの下で音楽を学んだ。1734年、オルガン奏者のプロとして活動し始める。数々の同様の職を経て、1755年に「国王の音楽師範」に抜擢。1758年に王室礼拝堂のオルガン奏者になった。 難聴が酷くなり、オルガン奏者として活動が出来なくなると、仕事を辞め、師のモーリス・グリーンが未完成のまま残した「教会音楽」(Cathedral Music)の編纂の完成に努めた。その多くの作品は今日でも英国教会で使用されている。 主な作品に、8つの交響曲、賛歌、叙情詩、仮面劇『ペレウスとテティス』、ジョン・ドライデンの世俗的仮面劇(Secular Masque)のための歌曲、ウィリアム・シェイクスピアの『テンペスト』『シンベリン』『ロミオとジュリエット』『冬物語』のための音楽、12のトリオ・ソナタなどがある。 ボイスは死後、忘れられた存在となり、今日でも作品が演奏されることは稀である。しかし1930年代に多くの作品が発見され、コンスタント・ランバートが校訂し指揮をした。
