William Linton RBA (1791 – 1876) was a British landscape artist.

In 1828-1829, he undertook a long sketching tour through Italy, travelling from the North to the South coast. On his second, more extended tour, he travelled around the Mediterranean, visiting the South of France, Sicily, Italy, Malta and Greece. The result of these journeys was a great number of sketches.
these were published in a series of books including his Scenery of Greece and its Islands, illustrated by fifty engravings .
