William Arnold Woodhouse (1857–1939) was an English artist. He was born in the seaside town of Morecambe in Lancashire. He specialized in animal portraits in the tradition of Landseer and was often praised for his artistic skill and realism. However, because he rarely travelled outside Lancashire, he did not achieve the full success or fame he deserved and is now mostly forgotten, even in the town of Morecambe itself. He is buried with his wife and daughter at St. Peter's church in the village of Heysham, a little to the south of Morecambe. Some of his paintings are on display in Lancaster City Museum in Lancaster.
