William Avery Thompson (1946–2020) was an American Anglican bishop. A key figure in the Anglican realignment in the United States, he was the longtime rector of All Saints Episcopal Church, which left the Episcopal Church for oversight by the Church of Uganda in 2004. He became a leader in the Common Cause Partnership, which in 2009 emerged as the Anglican Church in North America, and in 2009 was elected the first bishop of the ACNA's Diocese of Western Anglicans.
