William Will (January 27, 1742, Nieuwied-am-Rhein - February 14, 1798, Philadelphia) was an American pewterer and officer of the Continental Army.
In 1776, despite his young age, Will was able to raise a company of infantry, and eventually rose to the rank of colonel in various regiments of the Continental Army.
Despite this extensive involvement in public life, Will was able to maintain a successful business in the manufacture and sale of pewter.
While many other American pewterers achieved a standard equal to Will's in this regard, his work is noted for its extraordinarily fine workmanship, and the ambition of his designs.
