William Mountfort (c. 1664 – 10 December 1692), the son of a Staffordshire gentleman, was an English actor and dramatic writer. He met his death at the hand of notorious brawler Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohun of Okehampton, who had just taken part in an attempted kidnap of Mountfort's friend, the actress Anne Bracegirdle.
