Walter willson cobbett, né en 1847 à Blackheath (Angleterre), mort en 1937 à Londres, était un homme d'affaires anglais, violoniste amateur passionné de musique.

Il est le rédacteur du Cobbett's Cyclopedic Survey of Chamber Music ; une encyclopédie en deux-volume sur la musique de chambre, éditée en 1929, encore considérée le travail le plus complet sur le sujet aujourd'hui, émaillé de remarques perspicaces et parfois caustiques.

Il a commandé de nombreuses œuvres de musique de chambre, encourageant ainsi des compositeurs britanniques de son temps, tels que Benjamin Britten, Frank Bridge, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Arnold Bax, Eugène Goossens.

Il a fondé la Cobbett Society, association visant à promouvoir et redécouvrir des œuvres oubliées de musique de chambre.
