  • William Albert Hiltner (* 27. August 1914 in , Ohio; † 30. September 1991 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) war ein US-amerikanischer Astronom. Seine Arbeiten über photoelektrische Photometrie führten zur Entdeckung der interstellaren Polarisation und gaben erste Hinweise auf ein galaktisches Magnetfeld. Von 1968 bis 1971 war er der Präsident der Associated Universities for Research in Astronomy. 1970 wurde er als einer der Direktoren an die University of Michigan berufen und hatte diese Position bis 1982 inne. Das 1985 installierte Hiltner-Teleskop des in Arizona ist nach ihm benannt. 1992 wurde der Asteroid nach ihm benannt. (de)

He established MDM Observatory and led the construction of the Hiltner Telescope, which is named for him. After retiring from his professorship at University of Michigan, he joined the staff of the Carnegie Observatories to become the Project Manager for the Magellan Telescope Project, a program to build two 6.5 meter telescopes on Las Campanas in Chile.
