William Seale (August 7, 1939 – November 21, 2019) was an American historian and author whose primary interest was in historic architecture, particularly that of the White House, state capitols and historic governors' mansions. He was "instrumental in preserving many historic structures across the country", including private homes. In 1983, he founded the scholarly journal ''White House History'', which he edited for the White House Historical Association until his death.
