William Sclater (1906–1980) was a Scottish-Canadian journalist and naval officer, who won the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction at the 1947 Governor General's Awards for Haida, his account of the history of the Royal Canadian Navy destroyer HMCS Haida.[1]

Born in Scotland, Sclater served with the British forces in Malaya from 1925 to 1927.[2] He moved to Canada in 1931, joining the Royal Canadian Navy and attaining the rank of lieutenant-commander.[2] He later worked as a journalist and as executive secretary of the Canadian Horse Show Association.[2]

He died on May 27, 1980, at his summer home in Port Sydney, Ontario.[2]
