William Henry Matthaeus (born 1951) is an American astrophysicist and plasma physicist. He is known for his research on turbulence in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) (e.g. numerical simulations and kinetic theory) and astrophysical plasmas (e.g. solar wind and its fluctuations), for which he was awarded the 2019 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics.
