William Wilson Cook (April 16, 1858 – June 4, 1930) was an American attorney and legal scholar.

[4][5] Cook attended the University of Michigan from 1876 to 1882, earning his undergraduate (1880) and law (1882) degrees from that institution.

[6] He practiced law for many years in Manhattan, primarily for the Mackay telegraph and cable companies, and amassed a substantial fortune.

[7] In 1922, Cook announced his intention to construct a lawyers club and dormitory at University of Michigan.

[9][10][11] When the Lawyers Club was completed, the New York Times described it as "one of the finest buildings of its kind on any campus in the world".
