William Meldrum (died 1514 × 1516) was a prelate in the late 15th- and early 16th-century kingdom of Scotland. He appears to have come from the Meldrum family of Seggie, as suggested by the otters on his arms. He was vicar of Brechin parish and a canon of the cathedral when provided bishop of Brechin 4 July 1488. His appointment had been foreseen before the death of his predecessor John Balfour; by 4 June 1488 Meldrum had been selected to succeed to the bishopric upon the expected "resignation or death of the reverend father in Christ, John Balfour, now bishop of Brechin".
