William Perkins
William Perkins (Bulkington, Warwickshire, 1558 - 22 oktober 1602) wie in predikant en teolooch dy't ien fan wichtichste lieders fan de puriteinske beweging yn de tsjerke fan Ingelân wie.

Teologyske opfettings 
Perkins wie in oanhinger fan de "dûbele predestinaasjelear" en hat in protte war dien om de Ingelsken oan de lear fan Theodore Beza te krijen. Hy wie ferantwurdlik foar de publikaasje yn 't Ingelsk fan Bezá's ferneamde traktaat oer dûbele predestinaasje.
