William Bateman (1774-1850) was a prominent English silversmith who lived and worked in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He came from a family of silversmiths, and was the son of Jonathan and Ann Bateman who in 1800 entered in partnership with his uncle Peter and his mother Ann.

William Bateman began his apprenticeship with his father in 1788, and after completing his training, he took over the family business in 1791. He quickly established himself as one of the leading silversmiths in London, and his workshop produced some of the finest silverware of the period.

Bateman was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create intricate designs and patterns. He was particularly skilled in creating ornate silver tea sets, serving dishes, and other household items, which were highly sought after by the wealthy and aristocratic families of the time.
