William Stark (25 May 1770 – 9 October 1813) was an influential Scottish architect and town planner. He suffered from poor health and died relatively young, but his proposals for the development of Edinburgh's Eastern, or Third, New Town were faithfully carried on by his pupil William Henry Playfair, who later designed many of Edinburgh's neoclassical landmarks. Few of Stark's buildings survive, but his interiors at the Signet Library building, finished in time for the visit to Edinburgh of George IV in 1822, remain amongst Edinburgh's finest architectural work.

Sono pochi gli edifici di Stark che sono sopravvissuti, ma gli interni dell'edificio della Signet Library, terminato in tempo per la visita a Edimburgo di Giorgio IV nel 1822, rimangono tra le migliori opere architettoniche di Edimburgo.
