William Ward Pigman was an American citizen and member of the Communist Party of the United States who worked in the National Bureau of Standards in the 1930s. He was allegedly a member of the "Karl group" of spies for Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU).

Pigman allegedly supplied documents to J. Peters for Soviet intelligence as early as 1936. In his book, Witness, Whittaker Chambers refers to Pigman using the pseudonym "Abel Gross". The Gorsky Memo cites him as "114th".
