  • William Borlase (* 2. Februar 1695 in , Cornwall; † 31. August 1772) war ein englischer Altertums- und Naturforscher und stammte aus einer alten kornischen Familie, die ihre Ahnenreihe bis in die Zeit der normannischen Eroberung Englands 1066 durch William I. zurückführen konnte. Die französischen Vorfahren hießen ursprünglich Taillefer, nannten sich aber wie damals üblich nach der Gegend, in der sie sich in Cornwall ansiedelten, Borlâs. (de)
