William Auld (born 1924) is a Scottish author and the deputy director of a grammar school. He began to study Esperanto in 1937, but only became active in the propagation of the language in 1947, and has since written many works in Esperanto. Auld has edited various magazines and reviews, including Esperanto en Skotlando (1949-1955), of Esperanto (1955-1958, 1961-1962), of Monda Kulturo (1962-1963), of Norda Prismo (1968-1972), of La Brita Esperantisto (1973-(1999) and of Fonto (1980-1987). He was the Vice-President of the World Esperanto Association (1977-1980), president of the Academy of Esperanto (1979-1983), and honorary president of the Esperanta PEN-Centro. His large personal collection of Esperanto literature is now housed in the Scottish National Library. Auld has twice been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature: once in 1999, and one in 2004.
