William Tracy (died 1530) was an English justice of the peace and prominent early Lutheran convert.
He adopted Martin Luther's religious views, and shortly before his death in October 1530 he made a will in which he expressed his belief in justification by faith, and refused to make any bequests to the clergy.
Richard Tracy, the younger son who, with his mother, was executor to the will, induced Thomas Cromwell to take the matter up, and Parker had eventually to pay a fine.
Tracy's will became a sort of sacred text to the reformers; possessing copies of it was frequently made a charge against them.
[1] Hugh Latimer, John Bale, and James Pilkington all used the incident in polemic fashion against the Catholic clergy.
