William Hooker (1779–1832) was a British illustrator of natural history. He studied under Franz Bauer (1758–1840), becoming the official artist of the Royal Horticultural Society from 1812 until retirement in 1820,[1] whose publications he illustrated. His paintings of fruit were particularly appreciated.[2][3]

Not to be confused with William Jackson Hooker.

Hooker also worked on the "Oriental Memoirs" of James Forbes and The Paradisus Londinensis with descriptions by Richard Anthony Salisbury (1761–1829).[4] He contributed illustrations for "Hooker's Finest Fruits" until his death in 1832.[5]

The standard author abbreviation W.Hook. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]
