William Welton (1808–1858) was an English clergyman, physician, and surgeon. Born and raised in Wickham Market, Suffolk, England, Welton practiced as a surgeon for several years before shifting to study theology and become a medical missionary. He is credited with being the first Church Missionary Society doctor to go to China, as he went to Fuzhou, China from 1849 to 1856. He was one of two missionaries whose actions instigated the Shen-kuang-szu Incident in 1850-1.
