William Joyce alias Lord Haw-Haw (* 24. April 1906 in Brooklyn, NY; † 3. Januar 1946 in Wandsworth) war ein irisch-US-amerikanischer faschistischer Politiker und während des Zweiten Weltkrieges ein Propaganda-Rundfunksprecher der Nationalsozialisten. Er wurde von den Briten wegen Hochverrats hingerichtet. Als Inhaber eines britischen Passes habe er dem britischen Staat Treue geschuldet – jedoch hatte er sich das Ausweispapier mit falschen Angaben erschwindelt.
