William Henley (1874–1957)[1] was an English violinist,[2][3] arranger of music, music teacher, and composer. Henley studied with August Wilhelmj and later became a professor of composition and principal of the violin at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

The seminal reference book the Universal Dictionary of Violin & Bow Makers is based on his notes. The book was the first to include a significant number of American craftsmen. Henley travelled extensively as a performer, primarily with his quartet. It was during his trips, including a trip to America during the 1920s, that he gathered information for his book.[4]
