William Fox (January 1, 1879 - May 8, 1952) was a pioneering Hungarian American motion picture executive of Jewish descent who founded the Fox Film Corporation in 1915 and the Fox West Coast Theatres chain in the 1920s. Although, in 1936, Fox sold his interest in these companies to settle bankruptcy, his name lives on in the names of various media ventures, most notably the Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox .
