Wilhelm Bennet von Schulte (July 1, 1821 – August 13, 1894) was a German cartographer and historian.
He was born in the city of Marienburg in West Prussia, now Malbork in Poland.
During his life he created many maps with historical content, and worked together with other cartographers such as August Petermann on Stielers Handatlas and Andrees Allgemeiner Handatlas.
His own atlas, Bennet's kleiner Geschichtsatlas, was never published through lack of interest from the publishers.
On August 13, 1894, Wilhelm Bennet von Schulte died in Berlin at the age of 73 and is buried there in the Marzahn cemetery.

“Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“Freedom is but the possibility of a various and indefinite activity; while government, or the exercise of dominion, is a single, yet real activity. The longing for freedom, therefore, is at first only too frequently suggested by the deep-felt consciousness of its absence.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of existence, and how could that be possible without love?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
