Willem van Mieris (Jun 3, 1662, Leiden - Jan 26, 1747, Leiden), Dutch painter, was the son of Frans van Mieris sr..

His works are extremely numerous, being partly imitations of the paternal subjects, or mythological episodes, which Frans habitually avoided. In no case did he come near the excellence of his sire.
