William Webster (1689—1758) was a British clergyman in the Church of England and a theological writer.

In 1740 Webster published a pamphlet on the wool industry called Consequences of Trade to the Wealth and Strength of any Nation, by a Draper of London. It sold well and went into a fifth edition in 1741, the same year as Webster wrote a refutation of his own arguments, published under the pseudonym Andrew Freeport as The Draper Confuted.

William Webster also translated the book "A Compleat History of Arianism" by Louis Maimbourg, published in 1735.
