William Stratford Percy (1872–1946) was an Australian stage comedian who also appeared in a number of short films.

He made his reputation appearing in productions for J.C. Williamson Ltd.

He left Australia in 1913 and appeared in a number of shows in the USA before heading to England.

Although he returned to Australia in the early 1920s to tour, he based the rest of his career in England.

In the late 1930s he started writing travel books.
