William Horsell (31 March 1807 – 23 December 1863) was an English vegetarian activist, publisher, editor, and hydrotherapist who played a prominent role in several nineteenth-century reform movements, including temperance, phrenology, and early veganism. He was instrumental in the founding of the Vegetarian Society in 1847 and served as its first secretary. Based in London, Horsell edited the Society's early journal, the Truth-Tester, later renamed The Vegetarian Advocate, and operated a hydropathic infirmary in Ramsgate, described as the first vegetarian hospital in Britain.
