William Pell (1634–1698) was an English nonconformist minister, ejected in 1662, a tutor of Durham College subsequently imprisoned for illegal preaching.
After passing through the grammar school at Rotherham, Yorkshire, he was admitted as sizar at the age of seventeen on 29 March 1651 to Magdalene College, Cambridge.
He had a reputation as an orientalist, though he published nothing, leaving unfinished collections including rabbinical studies.
After the indulgence of 1672 he preached in public at Tattershall, Lincolnshire, and was protected by holding the office of domestic steward to Edward Clinton, 5th Earl of Lincoln.
On James II's declaration for liberty of conscience (1687), he became pastor to the nonconformists at Boston, Lincolnshire.
