William Chillingworth (12 octobre 1602 - janvier 1644), controversiste, né à Oxford.
Il fut élevé dans la religion anglicane, se convertit au Catholicisme à 17 ans, puis retourna au Protestantisme, et devint un des adversaires les plus ardents de l'église romaine. Il l'attaqua avec violence dans un traité intitulé : La Religion protestante, moyen sûr de salut, Oxford, 1637 (traduit en français, Amsterdam, 1730).
II prit parti dans la guerre civile pour Charles Ier d'Angleterre, accompagna ce prince au siège de Gloucester, et fut pris par les rebelles; il mourut entre leurs mains.
John Locke cite les écrits de Chillingworth comme les plus propres à former à la rigueur du raisonnement.
