William Walstan Crawley-Boevey (born 1960)[1] is an English mathematician. Since 2016, he has been Alexander von Humboldt Professor at Universität Bielefeld, on leave from his position as Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds.[2] His research concerns representation theory and the theory of quivers.

Crawley-Boevey is the second son of Sir Thomas Crawley-Boevey, 8th Baronet.[1] He studied at the City of London School and read mathematics at St John's College, Cambridge. He received his PhD in 1986 from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of .[3] Before his appointment in Leeds, he held post-doctoral positions at the University of Liverpool and the University of Oxford.

He was the 1991 winner of the Berwick Prize of the London Mathematical Society.[4] In 2006, Crawley-Boevey presented an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians.[5] In 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
