Sir William Maddock Bayliss (May 2, 1860 - August 27, 1924) was an English physiologist. He graduated in physiology from Wadham College, Oxford.

He and Ernest Henry Starling discovered the peptide hormone secretin and peristalsis of the intestines. The Bayliss effect is named after him.

He was also involved in the Brown Dog affair, suing Stephen Coleridge for libel over accusations he made about Bayliss's vivisection work. Although he won the case Coleridge won support for his cause and enough money was donated to cover the costs and damages.

William Bayliss's wife was Gertrude Starling, sister of Ernest Starling.

He was knighted for his contribution to medicine in 1922.

The Bayliss and Starling Society was founded in 1979 as a forum for scientists with research interests in central and autonomic peptide function.
