William Law (September 8, 1809 – January 19, 1892) was an important figure in the early history of the Latter Day Saint movement, holding a position in the early church's First Presidency under Joseph Smith.
Law was later excommunicated (for apostasy) from the church and was the founder of the short-lived True Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
In this capacity, he published a single edition of the Nauvoo Expositor, the destruction of which set in motion a chain of events that eventually led to Smith's assassination.
