William Bean (1787–1866) was an English geologist and conchologist. He was a pioneer of Yorkshire geology. In 1859 he sold his collection of over 15,000 fossils (mostly from localities around Scarborough). The majority of his collection was purchased by the British Museum and the Yorkshire Philosophical Society.
