William Bellenden (c. 1550 – c. 1633) was a Scottish classical scholar.
James I (VI of Scotland) appointed him magister libellorum supplicum or master of requests. King James is also said to have provided Bellenden with the means of living independently at Paris, where he became professor at the university, and advocate in the parliament.
