Willie Bester (b. 1956) is a South African sculptor known for his installations made of found objects.

Born in the Montagu section of Cape Town, Bester was required to move to a township with his family at the age of ten. To earn money, he was forced to leave school after the sixth grade. Employment was seasonal, and he was sent to a punishment camp because he could not find work for more than a year. Bester became an artist after 1986, when he took art classes at the Community Art Projects of Cape Town.

Bester's work is in the collection of Jean Pigozzi.
