William Paley (Peterborough, Northamptonshire, Inglaterra, 14 de julio de 1743 – 25 de mayo de 1805) fue un filósofo, teólogo y apologista británico, recordado por su ética utilitarista de su obra Principios de la filosofía moral y política y por sus argumentos apologéticos para demostrar la existencia de Dios en su obra Teología Natural, en especial la analogía del relojero, un argumento teleológico basado en la evidencia de diseño en el mundo. Sus obras influyeron mucho en Charles Darwin durante sus estudios en la Universidad de Cambridge y su argumento del diseño a veces es utilizado todavía por los partidarios del diseño inteligente.
