William Latymer (1498/1499 – 28 August 1583) was an English evangelical clergyman, scholar, and ecclesiastical administrator, best known for his roles as Dean of Peterborough (1560–1583) and Prebendary of Westminster (1560–1583). A chaplain to Anne Boleyn, he authored the Chronickille of Anne Bulleyne and contributed to the early development of the Chapter Library at Westminster Abbey. Latymer played a significant role in the English Reformation, notably as a witness in the trial of Edmund Bonner in 1549.
