William of Nottingham, OFM ( or ; 1330 1336) was an English Franciscan friar who served as the seventeenth Minister Provincial of England (–1330).

Life From 1312 to 1314, William served as the 39th reader at the Franciscan college at Oxford. He later succeeded Richard of Conington, becoming the 17th Minister Provincial of England (In some sources, he is the 19th or 21st in order, two additional friars given as succeeding Peter of Tewkesbury and/or Adam of Lincoln.) For a time, it was thought that his body may have been the one discovered in a double stone-and-lead coffin near Richard III's remains. However, continued investigation established that tomb belonged to an as-yet-unknown elderly woman.

He was succeeded as Minister Provincial by Roger of Denemed. for Sir Hugh of Nottingham, who was a clerk at the Royal Exchequer.
