William Mason (1719–1791) was a Christian Calvinist and devotional writer from England known for The Believer’s Companion and his notes appended to Pilgrim’s Progress. He was originally a follower of John Wesley, but abandoned Wesleyan Arminianism in favour of the Calvinist teachings of George Whitefield. He defined himself as a "Church of England Methodist". As a theological writer, he focused on doctrinal issues, including justification by faith, predestination and the afterlife.
