William Weber Coblentz (* 20. November 1873 in North Lima, Ohio; † 15. September 1962 in Washington D.C.) war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker und Astronom. Er machte bedeutende Forschungen in der Infrarot-Spektroskopie und Infrarotastronomie.

Coblentz maß die Infrarotstrahlung von Sternen, Planeten und Nebel. Seine Bestimmung der Konstanten der Schwarzkörperstrahlung bestätigte das Plancksche Strahlungsgesetz.
