William Skrimshire (the younger), (1766 in Wisbech – 22 July 1829) was a surgeon and botanist.He amassed a large herbarium with the help of his brother, Fenwick Skrimshire, although much of it has subsequently been lost. As a surgeon he worked alongside his father at a practice in Ship Lane. After his father's death Skrimshire moved to the edge of the town and there he grew native and exotic plants in his garden and a peppermint plantation. A manuscript catalogue of his collection is all that remains, although it does contain some important first records for Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. In 1818 Skrimshire sold the herbarium to Viscount Milton, but continued to gather specimens
