William Bouch (pronounced /ˈbaʊtʃ/) (1813-1876) is famous for the locomotives he designed for the Stockton & Darlington Railway. In 1860, Bouch designed the first British locomotives to use a 4-4-0 wheel layout which had earlier become popular in the United States.
William was a brother of Sir Thomas Bouch.
