William Dod (18 July 1867 – 8 October 1954) was a British archer. He won the gold medal in the men's double York round at the 1908 Summer Olympics on his 41st birthday. William Dod was born in Bebington, Cheshire, a descendant of Sir Anthony Dod of Edge, who commanded the English archers at the Battle of Agincourt. He went to win the Grand National Archery title, effectively the British national title, in 1909 and 1911. Dod retired from competition after the 1911 championship and rekindled his love of golf. In 1912 he reached the 4th round of the British Amateur Championship.
