Augustus William (German: August Wilhelm; 9 August 1722, Berlin – 12 June 1758, Oranienburg), Prince of Prussia, was the second son of King Frederick William I of Prussia and Sophia Dorothea of Hanover.
He was a younger brother of Wilhelmine of Bayreuth, Frederick II of Prussia and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia.
Augustus was a general in the Silesian Wars.
Because his older brother had no children, his oldest son inherited the throne as King Frederick William II of Prussia.
Augustus William married Louise Amalie of Brunswick-Lüneburg, daughter of Ferdinand Albert II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, in 1742. They had the following children:
- Frederick William (1744-1797)
- Frederick Henry Charles, Prince of Prussia (1747-1767)
- Wilhelmina of Prussia (1751-1820), married William V, Prince of Orange
- George Charles Emil (1758-1759)
