William Walker, né le 8 mai 1824 à Nashville (Tennessee, États-Unis) et mort le 12 septembre 1860 à Trujillo (Honduras), est un aventurier, flibustier et soldat de fortune américain qui tenta de conquérir plusieurs pays d'Amérique latine au XIXe siècle. En 1855, il envahit l'Amérique centrale et devient président du Nicaragua en 1856. Renversé en 1857 par la campagne nationale du Costa Rica menée contre lui, il fut mis à mort par le gouvernement du Honduras en 1860.
