William Hunter (May 23, 1718 - March 30, 1783) was a Scottish anatomist and physician. Hunter was trained in anatomy at St George's Hospital, London, specializing in obstetrics. His courtly manners and sensible judgement helped him to advance until he became the leading obstetric consultant of London. His greatest work was Anatomia uteri umani gravidi (The Anatomy of the Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures), with plates engraved by Rymsdyk, and published by the Baskerville Press in 1774.
