William Shakespeare (tidigare även Shakspere eller Shakespear), född 1564 (troligen 23 april; döpt 26 april) i Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, död 23 april 1616 i Stratford-upon-Avon, var en engelsk dramatiker, poet och skådespelare. Många anser honom vara inte bara Englands nationalskald utan också världslitteraturens främste dramatiker genom tiderna. Redan Shakespeares samtida kollega Ben Jonson sade: "He was not of an age, but for all time" (”Han tillhörde inte bara en tidsålder, utan alla”). Han har kallats ”the Bard of Avon” (”Barden från Avon”) och ”the Swan of Avon” (”Svanen från Avon”). Den dramatiska verksamheten ägde till stor del rum vid Globe Theatre, där han var delägare, belägen i Southwark i London.
