William Watkins (1849–1900) was an English entomologist.

He was an insect dealer who began trading exotic butterflies in 1874 in Eastbourne. In 1879 established a natural history supplies and specimen dealership and moved to 36 The Strand, London. In 1907 he formed a partnership with Authur Doncaster and the dealership became Watkins & Doncaster (1907). In 1937 ownership passed to Frederick Metté an expert on bird eggs.
