William Dod (July 18, 1867 – October 8, 1954) was a British archer. He won the gold medal in the men's double York round at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Dod and his sister Lottie both competed in the archery events of the 1908 Olympic Games. At the end of the first of the two rounds, both Dods had a 10-point lead in their respective competitions. William Dod's first round score of 403 was the only one to break 400 in the round; his score of 412 in the second was bested by Henry B. Richardson's 417. Dod's 815 total gave him a solid win over Reginald Brooks-King at 768, with Richardson at third with 760. His sister finished second in the women's competition.
