William Faden (1749–1836) was an English cartographer and a publisher of maps.
[4] The title of "geographer to the king" was given to various people in the 18th century, including John Senex, Herman Moll, Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Jeffreys.
All of these men, including William Faden, were engravers and publishers, not scholars or academics.
[8] William Faden was also the publisher of the periodical "the Public Ledger" or "The Daily Register" in London.
[9] A list of the English county maps printed by William Faden is also given in one of his biographies.
