William Washburn (October 7, 1808 – October 31, 1890) was an American architect active in Boston during the nineteenth century. A hotel specialist, very little of his work survives. Before the Civil War he was active in the abolitionist movement and served on the Boston Common Council and Board of Aldermen as a Free Soiler from 1853 to 1855; he served as chairman of the Board of Aldermen in 1855.
