William John Ansorge (6 April 1850 – 31 October 1913 at Luanda) was a physician who worked in Angola and Uganda and is known for exploring the fauna of the African region. He was posted as a medical officer in Uganda from 1895 to 1898. Several species of animals were named after him by museum taxonomists chiefly in Britain; these include Ansorge's cusimanse (Crossarchus ansorgei); several birds, including Ansorge's greenbul (Andropadus ansorgei), Platysteira (concreta) ansorgei, Xenocopsychus ansorgei, and Nesocharis ansorgei; many fishes (Polypterus ansorgii, Microctenopoma ansorgii, Phractura ansorgii, Thysochromis ansorgii, Enneacampus ansorgii, Neolebias ansorgii, and Epiplatys ansorgii); and three reptiles (Afrogecko ansorgii, Hemidactylus ansorgii, and Psammophis ansorgii).
