William Esco Moerner (nacido en Pleasanton, California, Estados Unidos, el 24 de junio de 1953) es un químico y físico estadounidense que trabaja en la Universidad de Stanford, como experto en la biofísica y toma de imágenes de moléculas individuales. Se le atribuye el logro de la primera detección óptica y espectroscópica de una sola molécula en fases condensadas, junto a su ayudante postdoctoral, Lothar Kador. El estudio óptico de moléculas individuales ha dado lugar posteriormente a técnicas experimentales con una sola molécula, ampliamente utilizadas en química, física y biología. Fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Química en 2014 por "el desarrollo de la microscopía de fluorescencia de super-resolución" junto a Eric Betzig y Stefan Hell.
