The Reverend William Houghton (1828–1895) was an English naturalist and clergyman, noted for being the author of British Fresh-Water Fishes. Houghton was rector of Preston on the Weald Moors in Shropshire. A serious naturalist, he became a Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London. Houghton studied fish specimens at the British Museum to produce his major work: British Fresh-Water Fishes, which was accomplished with participation of Alexander Francis Lydon (artist), Benjamin Fawcett (printer) and William Mackenzie (publisher).
