William Starling Burgess (December 25, 1878 – March 19, 1947) was a yacht designer, aviation pioneer, and naval architect. He was one of the great, restless geniuses of American design, making his mark across an extraordinary range of fields, from aviation, naval architecture, and automotive design, to poetry, and perhaps typography. He was awarded the highest prize in aviation, the Collier Trophy in 1915, just two years after Orville Wright won it.
