William Henry Playfair (1790-1857) fut un des plus célèbres architectes écossais du XIXe siècle.

Il construisit plusieurs bâtiments de style néoclassique, dont la National Gallery of Scotland, la Royal Scottish Academy, l'église Saint-Stephen et, avec Charles Robert Cockerell, le Monument national d'Écosse sur Calton Hill. Tous sont situés dans le centre de la ville d'Édimbourg en Écosse.
