Wilhelm Aarek (17 April 1907 – 26 December 1999) was a Norwegian philologist and educationalist.

He was a cand.philol. by education, and was appointed as a lecturer in the English language at Kristiansand Teacher's College in 1938. He had also applied for a job at Stavanger Cathedral School, but was rejected by the government. At Kristiansand Teacher's College he soon began writing books about pedagogy as well as his original field of philology.[1] He served rector of the college from 1948 to 1976.[2] He was decorated with the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, and died in 1999.[1]
