Sir William Ryder (died 30 August 1611) was an English merchant and politician who served as the Lord Mayor of London in 1600. As mayor, he played a prominent role in quashing the abortive rebellion led by the Earl of Essex, by publicly proclaiming Essex a traitor, which immediately caused much of his support to melt away.
