William Klein (* 19. April 1926 in New York; † 10. September 2022 in Paris) war ein US-amerikanischer Maler, Filmregisseur und Fotograf. Er lebte und arbeitete in Paris. Als Fotograf veröffentlichte er eine Reihe von Büchern über große Städte: New York, Rom, Moskau, Tokio und schließlich Paris, wo er seit 1948 lebte und das er wegen seines kosmopolitischen, multiethnischen Charakters liebte. Er hat Künstler wie Helmut Newton, Frank Horvat, David Bailey und Jeanloup Sieff beeinflusst.
