William Weekly (c. 1629–1697) was a bookseller who settled in Ipswich in the seventeenth century after completing an apprenticeship in London.[1]

He was originally from Great Addington, Northamptonshire. He served his apprenticeship from September 1638 to November 1646.[1] In 1651 he gained the freedom of Ipswich.

His son, John Weekly (1663-1716) entered his apprenticeship of ten years in London with William Harris. He returned to Ipswich, residing in St Lawrence ward.[2]
