William "Bill" Cronon (born September 11, 1954 in New Haven, Connecticut) is a noted environmental historian, and the Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of History, Geography, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He was president of the American Historical Association (AHA) in 2012.
