The Right Reverend William Otter (23 October 1768 – 20 August 1840) was the first Principal of King's College, London, who later served as Bishop of Chichester.[1] He was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge where he was later made a fellow.[2] He was appointed Principal of the newly established King's College, London, in 1831, and held the post until 1836 when he was appointed Bishop of Chichester. In 1804 he married Nancy Sadleir Bruere, daughter of George Bruere, British Governor of Bermuda.

Otter's son, William Bruère Otter was an Archdeacon of Lewes, who had in turn a son called William, a naval officer who served in Sydney, Australia.[3][4]
