William Freeman (c. 1558 – 13 August 1595) was an English Roman Catholic priest during the Reformation.

He was convicted of treason and hanged, drawn and quartered at Warwick.

Strongly impressed with this example, he left England and was ordained priest in 1587 at Reims.

In January 1595, a special commission was sent down to Stratford-on-Avon to search the house of Mrs Heaths who had engaged his services as tutor to her son.

Owing to the treachery of a fellow-prisoner, William Gregory, he was at last sentenced as a seminary priest and in spite of a protest of loyalty, suffered the death of a traitor at Warwick.
