Sir William Babington (c. 1370 – 1454) was an English lawyer and judge hailing from an old Northumbrian noble family. He was the son of Sir John de Babington and Benedicta Ward. In 1414, Babington was made a King's Attorney (Attorney General for England and Wales). Three years later, an act of parliament compelled him to accept the title of Serjeant-at-law, which he originally refused due to the expensive inauguration ceremony it required. Rising rapidly through government offices, in 1419 he was made Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the head judge of the jurisdiction exercised by the Exchequer of Pleas.
