Walter W. Winans (April 5, 1852 – August 12, 1920) was an American marksman, horse breeder, sculptor, and painter who participated in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics.

[1] He won two medals for shooting: a gold in 1908 and a silver in 1912, as well as demonstrating the sport of pistol duelling in the 1908 Games.

In 1884 he prosecuted a Scotsman, Murdoch Macrae, for grazing a lamb on land owned by Winans.

The failure of Winans' prosecution established the right to roam, which was a key element in opening British parklands to the public.

[6][7] Winans range at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, England is named after him.
