William Henry Dixon

William Henry Dixon (2 November 1783 – February 1854) was a Church of England clergyman and antiquary. He has strong connections to York.

Life William Henry Dixon, son of the Rev. Henry Dixon, vicar of Wadworth in the deanery of Doncaster, was born at that place on 2 November 1783. His mother was half-sister to the poet William Mason, whose estates came into his possession, together with various manuscripts by Mason and Thomas Gray, some of which were afterwards preserved in the York Minster Library.

Dixon died at York in February 1854. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, "In all his offices he worthily did his duty, and endeared himself to his acquaintance. He had ample means, which he spent without stint, and he left memorials of his munificence in nearly all the parishes named."
