William Darton (1781 – 1854) was an English engraver, map-maker and publisher. He was the eldest son of William Darton Sr., also a printer and book-seller.

Darton has also published maps for atlases, and his own Union Atlas in 1813. William Darton is known for a pioneering publication of the first comparative chart of the world's mountains and rivers in 1823, in partnership with engraver W. R . Gardner.
