Baron William George Armstrong (November 26, 1810 – December 27, 1900) was an English engineer and inventor. Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, he showed an early aptitude for engineering. As a young lad, William spent time in the workshop of William Ramshaw, an engineer, entrepreneur, and his future father-in-law. William's career began not in engineering, but in law.

He later studied law in London for five years before returning home to marry Margaret Ramshaw and begin practicing law as a partner with Mr. Donkin.
